So the greatest common factor 453,987 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 972,662
2 | 972, 662 |
486, 331 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 486 x 331 = 321732
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/321732
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 453/972,987/662 is 3/321732
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 972,662 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,662) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(972,662) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(972,662) = ( 972 × 662 ) / 2
LCM(972,662) = 643464 / 2
LCM(972,662) = 321732
