So the greatest common factor 3483,7104 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 516,348
2 | 516, 348 |
2 | 258, 174 |
3 | 129, 87 |
43, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 43 x 29 = 14964
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/14964
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3483/516,7104/348 is 3/14964
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 516,348 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(516,348) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(516,348) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(516,348) = ( 516 × 348 ) / 12
LCM(516,348) = 179568 / 12
LCM(516,348) = 14964
