Lets's calculate LCM of 279,465
3 | 279, 465 |
31 | 93, 155 |
3, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 31 x 3 x 5 = 1395
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/1395
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5075/279,1491/465 is 7/1395
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 279,465 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,465) = 93
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,465) x common factors =93 x 1 = 93
LCM(279,465) = ( 279 × 465 ) / 93
LCM(279,465) = 129735 / 93
LCM(279,465) = 1395
