Lets's calculate LCM of 168,8019
3 | 168, 8019 |
56, 2673 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 56 x 2673 = 449064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/449064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8487/168,4048/8019 is 23/449064
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 168,8019 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(168,8019) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(168,8019) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(168,8019) = ( 168 × 8019 ) / 3
LCM(168,8019) = 1347192 / 3
LCM(168,8019) = 449064
