Lets's calculate LCM of 309,717
3 | 309, 717 |
103, 239 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 103 x 239 = 73851
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 199/73851
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 597/309,995/717 is 199/73851
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 309,717 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(309,717) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(309,717) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(309,717) = ( 309 × 717 ) / 3
LCM(309,717) = 221553 / 3
LCM(309,717) = 73851
