Lets's calculate LCM of 873,285
3 | 873, 285 |
291, 95 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 291 x 95 = 82935
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/82935
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 247/873,966/285 is 1/82935
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 873,285 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(873,285) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(873,285) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(873,285) = ( 873 × 285 ) / 3
LCM(873,285) = 248805 / 3
LCM(873,285) = 82935
