So the greatest common factor 903,888 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,2783
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 189244
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/189244
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 903/68,888/2783 is 3/189244
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 68,2783 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,2783) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,2783) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(68,2783) = ( 68 × 2783 ) / 1
LCM(68,2783) = 189244 / 1
LCM(68,2783) = 189244
