So the greatest common factor 5736,2907 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 663,119
17 | 663, 119 |
39, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 39 x 7 = 4641
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/4641
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5736/663,2907/119 is 3/4641
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 663,119 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(663,119) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(663,119) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(663,119) = ( 663 × 119 ) / 17
LCM(663,119) = 78897 / 17
LCM(663,119) = 4641
