Lets's calculate LCM of 129,972
3 | 129, 972 |
43, 324 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 43 x 324 = 41796
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/41796
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8526/129,3907/972 is 1/41796
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 129,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(129,972) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(129,972) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(129,972) = ( 129 × 972 ) / 3
LCM(129,972) = 125388 / 3
LCM(129,972) = 41796
