So the greatest common factor 912,4698 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 159,693
3 | 159, 693 |
53, 231 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 53 x 231 = 36729
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/36729
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 912/159,4698/693 is 6/36729
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 159,693 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,693) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,693) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(159,693) = ( 159 × 693 ) / 3
LCM(159,693) = 110187 / 3
LCM(159,693) = 36729
