Lets's calculate LCM of 534,1317
3 | 534, 1317 |
178, 439 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 178 x 439 = 234426
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/234426
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8159/534,2976/1317 is 1/234426
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 534,1317 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(534,1317) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(534,1317) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(534,1317) = ( 534 × 1317 ) / 3
LCM(534,1317) = 703278 / 3
LCM(534,1317) = 234426
