Lets's calculate LCM of 429,297
3 | 429, 297 |
11 | 143, 99 |
13, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 11 x 13 x 9 = 3861
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3861
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 675/429,177/297 is 3/3861
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 429,297 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,297) = 33
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,297) x common factors =33 x 1 = 33
LCM(429,297) = ( 429 × 297 ) / 33
LCM(429,297) = 127413 / 33
LCM(429,297) = 3861
