Lets's calculate LCM of 409,368
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 150512
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/150512
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 897/409,7962/368 is 3/150512
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 409,368 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(409,368) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(409,368) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(409,368) = ( 409 × 368 ) / 1
LCM(409,368) = 150512 / 1
LCM(409,368) = 150512
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
