Lets's calculate LCM of 963,978
3 | 963, 978 |
321, 326 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 321 x 326 = 313938
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/313938
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 474/963,7324/978 is 2/313938
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 963,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(963,978) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(963,978) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(963,978) = ( 963 × 978 ) / 3
LCM(963,978) = 941814 / 3
LCM(963,978) = 313938
