Lets's calculate LCM of 102,879
3 | 102, 879 |
34, 293 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 34 x 293 = 29886
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/29886
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 304/102,834/879 is 2/29886
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 102,879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(102,879) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(102,879) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(102,879) = ( 102 × 879 ) / 3
LCM(102,879) = 89658 / 3
LCM(102,879) = 29886
