Lets's calculate LCM of 216,102
2 | 216, 102 |
3 | 108, 51 |
36, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 36 x 17 = 3672
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3672
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1957/216,9963/102 is 1/3672
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 216,102 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(216,102) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(216,102) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(216,102) = ( 216 × 102 ) / 6
LCM(216,102) = 22032 / 6
LCM(216,102) = 3672
