So the greatest common factor 6909,8079 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 279,249
3 | 279, 249 |
93, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 93 x 83 = 23157
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/23157
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6909/279,8079/249 is 3/23157
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 279,249 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,249) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,249) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(279,249) = ( 279 × 249 ) / 3
LCM(279,249) = 69471 / 3
LCM(279,249) = 23157
