So the greatest common factor 868,812 is 28.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,9831
3 | 21, 9831 |
7, 3277 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 3277 = 68817
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/68817
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 868/21,812/9831 is 28/68817
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 21,9831 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,9831) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,9831) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(21,9831) = ( 21 × 9831 ) / 3
LCM(21,9831) = 206451 / 3
LCM(21,9831) = 68817
