So the greatest common factor 7008,7173 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 666,786
2 | 666, 786 |
3 | 333, 393 |
111, 131 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 111 x 131 = 87246
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/87246
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7008/666,7173/786 is 3/87246
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 666,786 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(666,786) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(666,786) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(666,786) = ( 666 × 786 ) / 6
LCM(666,786) = 523476 / 6
LCM(666,786) = 87246
