3 | 144, 459 |
3 | 48, 153 |
16, 51 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 16 x 51 = 7344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2708/144,3214/459 is 2/7344
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 144,459 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(144,459) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(144,459) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(144,459) = ( 144 × 459 ) / 9
LCM(144,459) = 66096 / 9
LCM(144,459) = 7344
