So the greatest common factor 7896,8931 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 228,945
3 | 228, 945 |
76, 315 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 76 x 315 = 71820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/71820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7896/228,8931/945 is 3/71820
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 228,945 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(228,945) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(228,945) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(228,945) = ( 228 × 945 ) / 3
LCM(228,945) = 215460 / 3
LCM(228,945) = 71820
