Lets's calculate LCM of 478,318
2 | 478, 318 |
239, 159 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 239 x 159 = 76002
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/76002
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6771/478,9953/318 is 37/76002
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 478,318 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(478,318) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(478,318) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(478,318) = ( 478 × 318 ) / 2
LCM(478,318) = 152004 / 2
LCM(478,318) = 76002
