3 | 723, 5931 |
241, 1977 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 241 x 1977 = 1429371
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1429371
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6159/723,8499/5931 is 3/1429371
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 723,5931 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(723,5931) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(723,5931) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(723,5931) = ( 723 × 5931 ) / 3
LCM(723,5931) = 4288113 / 3
LCM(723,5931) = 1429371
