So the greatest common factor 3171,4266 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 843,8709
3 | 843, 8709 |
281, 2903 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 281 x 2903 = 2447229
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2447229
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3171/843,4266/8709 is 3/2447229
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 843,8709 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(843,8709) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(843,8709) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(843,8709) = ( 843 × 8709 ) / 3
LCM(843,8709) = 7341687 / 3
LCM(843,8709) = 2447229
