Lets's calculate LCM of 117,117
3 | 117, 117 |
3 | 39, 39 |
13 | 13, 13 |
1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 13 x 1 x 1 = 117
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/117
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 659/117,1570/117 is 1/117
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 117,117 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(117,117) = 117
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(117,117) x common factors =117 x 1 = 117
LCM(117,117) = ( 117 × 117 ) / 117
LCM(117,117) = 13689 / 117
LCM(117,117) = 117
