So the greatest common factor 1218,7665 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 217,1722
7 | 217, 1722 |
31, 246 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 31 x 246 = 53382
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/53382
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1218/217,7665/1722 is 21/53382
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 217,1722 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(217,1722) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(217,1722) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(217,1722) = ( 217 × 1722 ) / 7
LCM(217,1722) = 373674 / 7
LCM(217,1722) = 53382
