Lets's calculate LCM of 273,174
3 | 273, 174 |
91, 58 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 91 x 58 = 15834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7244/273,5899/174 is 1/15834
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 273,174 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(273,174) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(273,174) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(273,174) = ( 273 × 174 ) / 3
LCM(273,174) = 47502 / 3
LCM(273,174) = 15834
