So the greatest common factor 273,856 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 75,1878
3 | 75, 1878 |
25, 626 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 25 x 626 = 46950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/46950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 273/75,856/1878 is 1/46950
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 75,1878 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(75,1878) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(75,1878) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(75,1878) = ( 75 × 1878 ) / 3
LCM(75,1878) = 140850 / 3
LCM(75,1878) = 46950
