Lets's calculate LCM of 777,111
3 | 777, 111 |
37 | 259, 37 |
7, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 37 x 7 x 1 = 777
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/777
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 278/777,869/111 is 1/777
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 777,111 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(777,111) = 111
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(777,111) x common factors =111 x 1 = 111
LCM(777,111) = ( 777 × 111 ) / 111
LCM(777,111) = 86247 / 111
LCM(777,111) = 777
