Lets's calculate LCM of 888,9018
2 | 888, 9018 |
3 | 444, 4509 |
148, 1503 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 148 x 1503 = 1334664
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1334664
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6975/888,3737/9018 is 1/1334664
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 888,9018 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(888,9018) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(888,9018) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(888,9018) = ( 888 × 9018 ) / 6
LCM(888,9018) = 8007984 / 6
LCM(888,9018) = 1334664
