Lets's calculate LCM of 171,207
3 | 171, 207 |
3 | 57, 69 |
19, 23 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 19 x 23 = 3933
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3933
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4209/171,2187/207 is 3/3933
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 171,207 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(171,207) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(171,207) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(171,207) = ( 171 × 207 ) / 9
LCM(171,207) = 35397 / 9
LCM(171,207) = 3933
