Lets's calculate LCM of 497,371
7 | 497, 371 |
71, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 71 x 53 = 26341
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 634/26341
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3170/497,7608/371 is 634/26341
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 497,371 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(497,371) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(497,371) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(497,371) = ( 497 × 371 ) / 7
LCM(497,371) = 184387 / 7
LCM(497,371) = 26341
