Lets's calculate LCM of 465,903
3 | 465, 903 |
155, 301 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 155 x 301 = 139965
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/139965
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7599/465,6849/903 is 3/139965
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 465,903 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(465,903) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(465,903) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(465,903) = ( 465 × 903 ) / 3
LCM(465,903) = 419895 / 3
LCM(465,903) = 139965
