Lets's calculate LCM of 252,1491
3 | 252, 1491 |
7 | 84, 497 |
12, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 12 x 71 = 17892
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/17892
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5658/252,8166/1491 is 6/17892
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 252,1491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(252,1491) = 21
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(252,1491) x common factors =21 x 1 = 21
LCM(252,1491) = ( 252 × 1491 ) / 21
LCM(252,1491) = 375732 / 21
LCM(252,1491) = 17892
