Lets's calculate LCM of 9435,8388
3 | 9435, 8388 |
3145, 2796 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3145 x 2796 = 26380260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26380260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 157/9435,736/8388 is 1/26380260
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 9435,8388 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(9435,8388) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(9435,8388) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(9435,8388) = ( 9435 × 8388 ) / 3
LCM(9435,8388) = 79140780 / 3
LCM(9435,8388) = 26380260
