3 | 273, 903 |
7 | 91, 301 |
13, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 13 x 43 = 23478
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/23478
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/546,6546/1806 is 3/23478
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 546,1806 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(546,1806) = 42
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(546,1806) x common factors =42 x 1 = 42
LCM(546,1806) = ( 546 × 1806 ) / 42
LCM(546,1806) = 986076 / 42
LCM(546,1806) = 23478
