So the greatest common factor 200,142 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 327,837
3 | 327, 837 |
109, 279 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 109 x 279 = 91233
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/91233
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 200/327,142/837 is 2/91233
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 327,837 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(327,837) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(327,837) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(327,837) = ( 327 × 837 ) / 3
LCM(327,837) = 273699 / 3
LCM(327,837) = 91233
