Lets's calculate LCM of 471,141
3 | 471, 141 |
157, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 157 x 47 = 22137
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/22137
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9636/471,3996/141 is 12/22137
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 471,141 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(471,141) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(471,141) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(471,141) = ( 471 × 141 ) / 3
LCM(471,141) = 66411 / 3
LCM(471,141) = 22137
