Lets's calculate LCM of 534,978
2 | 534, 978 |
3 | 267, 489 |
89, 163 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 89 x 163 = 87042
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/87042
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8517/534,1105/978 is 17/87042
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 534,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(534,978) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(534,978) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(534,978) = ( 534 × 978 ) / 6
LCM(534,978) = 522252 / 6
LCM(534,978) = 87042
