Lets's calculate LCM of 403,481
13 | 403, 481 |
31, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 31 x 37 = 14911
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/14911
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 597/403,1318/481 is 1/14911
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 403,481 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(403,481) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(403,481) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(403,481) = ( 403 × 481 ) / 13
LCM(403,481) = 193843 / 13
LCM(403,481) = 14911
