Lets's calculate LCM of 242,927
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 224334
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/224334
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 900/242,3987/927 is 9/224334
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 242,927 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(242,927) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(242,927) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(242,927) = ( 242 × 927 ) / 1
LCM(242,927) = 224334 / 1
LCM(242,927) = 224334
