Lets's calculate LCM of 963,492
3 | 963, 492 |
321, 164 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 321 x 164 = 157932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/157932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5688/963,3206/492 is 2/157932
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 963,492 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(963,492) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(963,492) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(963,492) = ( 963 × 492 ) / 3
LCM(963,492) = 473796 / 3
LCM(963,492) = 157932
