Lets's calculate LCM of 471,757
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 356547
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/356547
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 632/471,7138/757 is 2/356547
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 471,757 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(471,757) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(471,757) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(471,757) = ( 471 × 757 ) / 1
LCM(471,757) = 356547 / 1
LCM(471,757) = 356547
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
