3 | 894, 3399 |
298, 1133 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 298 x 1133 = 1012902
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1012902
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2427/894,8973/3399 is 3/1012902
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 894,3399 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(894,3399) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(894,3399) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(894,3399) = ( 894 × 3399 ) / 3
LCM(894,3399) = 3038706 / 3
LCM(894,3399) = 1012902
