Lets's calculate LCM of 219,171
3 | 219, 171 |
73, 57 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 73 x 57 = 12483
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/12483
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1659/219,9233/171 is 7/12483
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 219,171 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(219,171) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(219,171) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(219,171) = ( 219 × 171 ) / 3
LCM(219,171) = 37449 / 3
LCM(219,171) = 12483
