Lets's calculate LCM of 279,105
3 | 279, 105 |
93, 35 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 93 x 35 = 9765
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/9765
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3346/279,9038/105 is 2/9765
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 279,105 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,105) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,105) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(279,105) = ( 279 × 105 ) / 3
LCM(279,105) = 29295 / 3
LCM(279,105) = 9765
