Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/79083
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 878/783,237/303 is 1/79083
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 783,303 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(783,303) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(783,303) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(783,303) = ( 783 × 303 ) / 3
LCM(783,303) = 237249 / 3
LCM(783,303) = 79083
