Lets's calculate LCM of 78,9453
3 | 78, 9453 |
26, 3151 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 26 x 3151 = 245778
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/245778
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 248/78,589/9453 is 31/245778
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 78,9453 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,9453) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,9453) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(78,9453) = ( 78 × 9453 ) / 3
LCM(78,9453) = 737334 / 3
LCM(78,9453) = 245778
