We found the factors 2693,2720 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2693,2720 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 249,351
3 | 249, 351 |
83, 117 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 83 x 117 = 29133
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29133
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2693/249,2720/351 is 1/29133
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 249,351 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(249,351) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(249,351) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(249,351) = ( 249 × 351 ) / 3
LCM(249,351) = 87399 / 3
LCM(249,351) = 29133
