So the greatest common factor 3702,2478 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,191
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3056
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/3056
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3702/16,2478/191 is 6/3056
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 16,191 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,191) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,191) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(16,191) = ( 16 × 191 ) / 1
LCM(16,191) = 3056 / 1
LCM(16,191) = 3056
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
