Lets's calculate LCM of 369,897
3 | 369, 897 |
123, 299 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 123 x 299 = 110331
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/110331
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7436/369,9276/897 is 4/110331
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 369,897 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(369,897) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(369,897) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(369,897) = ( 369 × 897 ) / 3
LCM(369,897) = 330993 / 3
LCM(369,897) = 110331
