Lets's calculate LCM of 777,699
3 | 777, 699 |
259, 233 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 259 x 233 = 181041
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/181041
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1372/777,4042/699 is 2/181041
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 777,699 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(777,699) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(777,699) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(777,699) = ( 777 × 699 ) / 3
LCM(777,699) = 543123 / 3
LCM(777,699) = 181041
