So the greatest common factor 4251,9477 is 39.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,537
| 3 | 99, 537 |
| 33, 179 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 33 x 179 = 17721
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 39/17721
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4251/99,9477/537 is 39/17721
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 99,537 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,537) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,537) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(99,537) = ( 99 × 537 ) / 3
LCM(99,537) = 53163 / 3
LCM(99,537) = 17721
