Lets's calculate LCM of 767,371
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 284557
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/284557
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 708/767,2187/371 is 3/284557
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 767,371 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(767,371) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(767,371) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(767,371) = ( 767 × 371 ) / 1
LCM(767,371) = 284557 / 1
LCM(767,371) = 284557
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
