3 | 261, 621 |
3 | 87, 207 |
29, 69 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 29 x 69 = 18009
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18009
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1214/261,7974/621 is 2/18009
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 261,621 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(261,621) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(261,621) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(261,621) = ( 261 × 621 ) / 9
LCM(261,621) = 162081 / 9
LCM(261,621) = 18009
