Lets's calculate LCM of 465,4527
3 | 465, 4527 |
155, 1509 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 155 x 1509 = 701685
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/701685
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 762/465,5973/4527 is 3/701685
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 465,4527 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(465,4527) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(465,4527) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(465,4527) = ( 465 × 4527 ) / 3
LCM(465,4527) = 2105055 / 3
LCM(465,4527) = 701685
