So the greatest common factor 6669,6291 is 27.
Lets's calculate LCM of 237,738
3 | 237, 738 |
79, 246 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 79 x 246 = 58302
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 27/58302
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6669/237,6291/738 is 27/58302
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 237,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(237,738) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(237,738) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(237,738) = ( 237 × 738 ) / 3
LCM(237,738) = 174906 / 3
LCM(237,738) = 58302
