So the greatest common factor 579,8037 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 423,708
3 | 423, 708 |
141, 236 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 141 x 236 = 99828
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/99828
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 579/423,8037/708 is 3/99828
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 423,708 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(423,708) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(423,708) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(423,708) = ( 423 × 708 ) / 3
LCM(423,708) = 299484 / 3
LCM(423,708) = 99828
