Lets's calculate LCM of 612,2872
2 | 612, 2872 |
2 | 306, 1436 |
153, 718 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 153 x 718 = 439416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/439416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3396/612,3183/2872 is 3/439416
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 612,2872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(612,2872) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(612,2872) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(612,2872) = ( 612 × 2872 ) / 4
LCM(612,2872) = 1757664 / 4
LCM(612,2872) = 439416
