Lets's calculate LCM of 651,945
3 | 651, 945 |
7 | 217, 315 |
31, 45 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 31 x 45 = 29295
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/29295
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 342/651,7848/945 is 18/29295
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 651,945 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(651,945) = 21
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(651,945) x common factors =21 x 1 = 21
LCM(651,945) = ( 651 × 945 ) / 21
LCM(651,945) = 615195 / 21
LCM(651,945) = 29295
