Lets's calculate LCM of 831,9855
3 | 831, 9855 |
277, 3285 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 277 x 3285 = 2729835
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/2729835
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5980/831,5325/9855 is 5/2729835
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 831,9855 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(831,9855) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(831,9855) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(831,9855) = ( 831 × 9855 ) / 3
LCM(831,9855) = 8189505 / 3
LCM(831,9855) = 2729835
