Lets's calculate LCM of 471,2952

3 471, 2952
157, 984

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 157 x 984 = 463464

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/463464

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/471,12/2952 is 3/463464

Least Common Multiple of 471,2952 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 471,2952 with GCF Formula

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 471,2952 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(471,2952) = 3

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(471,2952) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3

LCM(471,2952) = ( 471 × 2952 ) / 3

LCM(471,2952) = 1390392 / 3

LCM(471,2952) = 463464
