Lets's calculate LCM of 123,327
3 | 123, 327 |
41, 109 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 41 x 109 = 13407
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/13407
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2542/123,1457/327 is 31/13407
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 123,327 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(123,327) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(123,327) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(123,327) = ( 123 × 327 ) / 3
LCM(123,327) = 40221 / 3
LCM(123,327) = 13407
