Lets's calculate LCM of 771,303
3 | 771, 303 |
257, 101 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 257 x 101 = 77871
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/77871
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 280/771,598/303 is 2/77871
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 771,303 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(771,303) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(771,303) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(771,303) = ( 771 × 303 ) / 3
LCM(771,303) = 233613 / 3
LCM(771,303) = 77871
