Lets's calculate LCM of 153,303
3 | 153, 303 |
51, 101 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 51 x 101 = 15453
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/15453
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 183/153,8538/303 is 3/15453
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 153,303 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(153,303) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(153,303) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(153,303) = ( 153 × 303 ) / 3
LCM(153,303) = 46359 / 3
LCM(153,303) = 15453
