Lets's calculate LCM of 351,7131
3 | 351, 7131 |
117, 2377 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 117 x 2377 = 834327
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/834327
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5901/351,6531/7131 is 21/834327
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 351,7131 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(351,7131) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(351,7131) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(351,7131) = ( 351 × 7131 ) / 3
LCM(351,7131) = 2502981 / 3
LCM(351,7131) = 834327
