So the greatest common factor 1833,5049 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 975,978
3 | 975, 978 |
325, 326 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 325 x 326 = 317850
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/317850
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1833/975,5049/978 is 3/317850
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 975,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(975,978) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(975,978) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(975,978) = ( 975 × 978 ) / 3
LCM(975,978) = 953550 / 3
LCM(975,978) = 317850
