Lets's calculate LCM of 437,336
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 146832
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/146832
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 696/437,1299/336 is 3/146832
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 437,336 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(437,336) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(437,336) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(437,336) = ( 437 × 336 ) / 1
LCM(437,336) = 146832 / 1
LCM(437,336) = 146832
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
