So the greatest common factor 1314,1596 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 957,234
3 | 957, 234 |
319, 78 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 319 x 78 = 74646
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/74646
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1314/957,1596/234 is 6/74646
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 957,234 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(957,234) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(957,234) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(957,234) = ( 957 × 234 ) / 3
LCM(957,234) = 223938 / 3
LCM(957,234) = 74646
