Lets's calculate LCM of 444,751
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 333444
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/333444
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3237/444,1608/751 is 3/333444
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 444,751 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(444,751) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(444,751) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(444,751) = ( 444 × 751 ) / 1
LCM(444,751) = 333444 / 1
LCM(444,751) = 333444
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
