So the greatest common factor 993,959 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 376,312
2 | 376, 312 |
2 | 188, 156 |
2 | 94, 78 |
47, 39 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 47 x 39 = 14664
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/14664
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 993/376,959/312 is 1/14664
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 376,312 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(376,312) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(376,312) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(376,312) = ( 376 × 312 ) / 8
LCM(376,312) = 117312 / 8
LCM(376,312) = 14664
