Lets's calculate LCM of 69,6879
3 | 69, 6879 |
23, 2293 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 23 x 2293 = 158217
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/158217
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 434/69,266/6879 is 14/158217
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 69,6879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(69,6879) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(69,6879) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(69,6879) = ( 69 × 6879 ) / 3
LCM(69,6879) = 474651 / 3
LCM(69,6879) = 158217
