Lets's calculate LCM of 253,6486
23 | 253, 6486 |
11, 282 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 23 x 11 x 282 = 71346
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/71346
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6699/253,8427/6486 is 3/71346
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 253,6486 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(253,6486) = 23
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(253,6486) x common factors =23 x 1 = 23
LCM(253,6486) = ( 253 × 6486 ) / 23
LCM(253,6486) = 1640958 / 23
LCM(253,6486) = 71346
