Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7347,9078 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7347,9078 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 240,111
3 | 240, 111 |
80, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 80 x 37 = 8880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/8880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7347/240,9078/111 is 3/8880
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 240,111 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,111) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(240,111) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(240,111) = ( 240 × 111 ) / 3
LCM(240,111) = 26640 / 3
LCM(240,111) = 8880
