Lets's calculate LCM of 873,759
3 | 873, 759 |
291, 253 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 291 x 253 = 220869
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 52/220869
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6968/873,6396/759 is 52/220869
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 873,759 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(873,759) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(873,759) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(873,759) = ( 873 × 759 ) / 3
LCM(873,759) = 662607 / 3
LCM(873,759) = 220869
