Lets's calculate LCM of 63,9282
3 | 63, 9282 |
7 | 21, 3094 |
3, 442 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 3 x 442 = 27846
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 27/27846
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 837/63,540/9282 is 27/27846
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 63,9282 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,9282) = 21
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(63,9282) x common factors =21 x 1 = 21
LCM(63,9282) = ( 63 × 9282 ) / 21
LCM(63,9282) = 584766 / 21
LCM(63,9282) = 27846
