Lets's calculate LCM of 657,7977
3 | 657, 7977 |
219, 2659 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 219 x 2659 = 1746963
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1746963
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2899/657,4662/7977 is 1/1746963
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 657,7977 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(657,7977) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(657,7977) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(657,7977) = ( 657 × 7977 ) / 3
LCM(657,7977) = 5240889 / 3
LCM(657,7977) = 1746963
