So the greatest common factor 293,261 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 138,375
3 | 138, 375 |
46, 125 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 46 x 125 = 17250
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17250
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 293/138,261/375 is 1/17250
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 138,375 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(138,375) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(138,375) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(138,375) = ( 138 × 375 ) / 3
LCM(138,375) = 51750 / 3
LCM(138,375) = 17250
