Lets's calculate LCM of 485,547
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 265295
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/265295
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3657/485,3171/547 is 3/265295
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 485,547 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(485,547) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(485,547) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(485,547) = ( 485 × 547 ) / 1
LCM(485,547) = 265295 / 1
LCM(485,547) = 265295
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
