We found the factors 317,720 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 317,720 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 951,249
3 | 951, 249 |
317, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 317 x 83 = 78933
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/78933
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 317/951,720/249 is 1/78933
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 951,249 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(951,249) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(951,249) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(951,249) = ( 951 × 249 ) / 3
LCM(951,249) = 236799 / 3
LCM(951,249) = 78933
