Lets's calculate LCM of 996,9213
3 | 996, 9213 |
83 | 332, 3071 |
4, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 83 x 4 x 37 = 36852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/36852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 872/996,7517/9213 is 1/36852
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 996,9213 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(996,9213) = 249
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(996,9213) x common factors =249 x 1 = 249
LCM(996,9213) = ( 996 × 9213 ) / 249
LCM(996,9213) = 9176148 / 249
LCM(996,9213) = 36852
