Lets's calculate LCM of 377,8236
29 | 377, 8236 |
13, 284 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 29 x 13 x 284 = 107068
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/107068
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5547/377,5964/8236 is 3/107068
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 377,8236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(377,8236) = 29
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(377,8236) x common factors =29 x 1 = 29
LCM(377,8236) = ( 377 × 8236 ) / 29
LCM(377,8236) = 3104972 / 29
LCM(377,8236) = 107068
