So the greatest common factor 1437,3116 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 897,1833
3 | 897, 1833 |
13 | 299, 611 |
23, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 13 x 23 x 47 = 42159
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/42159
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1437/897,3116/1833 is 1/42159
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 897,1833 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(897,1833) = 39
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(897,1833) x common factors =39 x 1 = 39
LCM(897,1833) = ( 897 × 1833 ) / 39
LCM(897,1833) = 1644201 / 39
LCM(897,1833) = 42159
