So the greatest common factor 3451,3887 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 468,396
2 | 468, 396 |
2 | 234, 198 |
3 | 117, 99 |
3 | 39, 33 |
13, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 11 = 5148
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5148
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3451/468,3887/396 is 1/5148
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 468,396 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(468,396) = 36
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(468,396) x common factors =36 x 1 = 36
LCM(468,396) = ( 468 × 396 ) / 36
LCM(468,396) = 185328 / 36
LCM(468,396) = 5148
