Lets's calculate LCM of 713,279
31 | 713, 279 |
23, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 31 x 23 x 9 = 6417
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/6417
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2793/713,2331/279 is 21/6417
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 713,279 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(713,279) = 31
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(713,279) x common factors =31 x 1 = 31
LCM(713,279) = ( 713 × 279 ) / 31
LCM(713,279) = 198927 / 31
LCM(713,279) = 6417
