Lets's calculate LCM of 361,2356
19 | 361, 2356 |
19, 124 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 19 x 19 x 124 = 44764
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/44764
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 963/361,9972/2356 is 9/44764
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 361,2356 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(361,2356) = 19
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(361,2356) x common factors =19 x 1 = 19
LCM(361,2356) = ( 361 × 2356 ) / 19
LCM(361,2356) = 850516 / 19
LCM(361,2356) = 44764
