11 | 121, 891 |
11, 81 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 11 x 81 = 9801
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/9801
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 222/121,4737/891 is 3/9801
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 121,891 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(121,891) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(121,891) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(121,891) = ( 121 × 891 ) / 11
LCM(121,891) = 107811 / 11
LCM(121,891) = 9801
