So the greatest common factor 51,3468 is 51.
Lets's calculate LCM of 489,1521
3 | 489, 1521 |
163, 507 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 163 x 507 = 247923
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 51/247923
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/489,3468/1521 is 51/247923
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 489,1521 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(489,1521) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(489,1521) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(489,1521) = ( 489 × 1521 ) / 3
LCM(489,1521) = 743769 / 3
LCM(489,1521) = 247923
