Lets's calculate LCM of 927,9966
3 | 927, 9966 |
309, 3322 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 309 x 3322 = 3079494
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3079494
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3597/927,7470/9966 is 3/3079494
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 927,9966 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(927,9966) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(927,9966) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(927,9966) = ( 927 × 9966 ) / 3
LCM(927,9966) = 9238482 / 3
LCM(927,9966) = 3079494
