Lets's calculate LCM of 299,468
13 | 299, 468 |
23, 36 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 23 x 36 = 10764
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/10764
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7170/299,4125/468 is 15/10764
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 299,468 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(299,468) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(299,468) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(299,468) = ( 299 × 468 ) / 13
LCM(299,468) = 139932 / 13
LCM(299,468) = 10764
