So the greatest common factor 957,1944 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 399,4617
3 | 399, 4617 |
19 | 133, 1539 |
7, 81 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 19 x 7 x 81 = 32319
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/32319
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 957/399,1944/4617 is 3/32319
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 399,4617 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(399,4617) = 57
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(399,4617) x common factors =57 x 1 = 57
LCM(399,4617) = ( 399 × 4617 ) / 57
LCM(399,4617) = 1842183 / 57
LCM(399,4617) = 32319
