So the greatest common factor 660,945 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,9963
3 | 42, 9963 |
14, 3321 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 14 x 3321 = 139482
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/139482
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 660/42,945/9963 is 15/139482
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 42,9963 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,9963) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,9963) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(42,9963) = ( 42 × 9963 ) / 3
LCM(42,9963) = 418446 / 3
LCM(42,9963) = 139482
