So the greatest common factor 4926,9588 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 903,159
3 | 903, 159 |
301, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 301 x 53 = 47859
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/47859
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4926/903,9588/159 is 6/47859
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 903,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(903,159) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(903,159) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(903,159) = ( 903 × 159 ) / 3
LCM(903,159) = 143577 / 3
LCM(903,159) = 47859
