So the greatest common factor 660,496 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 381,363
3 | 381, 363 |
127, 121 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 127 x 121 = 46101
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/46101
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 660/381,496/363 is 4/46101
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 381,363 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(381,363) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(381,363) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(381,363) = ( 381 × 363 ) / 3
LCM(381,363) = 138303 / 3
LCM(381,363) = 46101
