So the greatest common factor 666,294 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 39,3438
3 | 39, 3438 |
13, 1146 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 13 x 1146 = 44694
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/44694
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 666/39,294/3438 is 6/44694
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 39,3438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(39,3438) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(39,3438) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(39,3438) = ( 39 × 3438 ) / 3
LCM(39,3438) = 134082 / 3
LCM(39,3438) = 44694
