Lets's calculate LCM of 257,646
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 166022
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/166022
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 960/257,8481/646 is 3/166022
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 257,646 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,646) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,646) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,646) = ( 257 × 646 ) / 1
LCM(257,646) = 166022 / 1
LCM(257,646) = 166022
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
