So the greatest common factor 5981,3476 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 978,339
3 | 978, 339 |
326, 113 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 326 x 113 = 110514
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/110514
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5981/978,3476/339 is 1/110514
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 978,339 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(978,339) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(978,339) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(978,339) = ( 978 × 339 ) / 3
LCM(978,339) = 331542 / 3
LCM(978,339) = 110514
