Lets's calculate LCM of 642,159
3 | 642, 159 |
214, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 214 x 53 = 34026
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 61/34026
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9272/642,5063/159 is 61/34026
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 642,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(642,159) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(642,159) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(642,159) = ( 642 × 159 ) / 3
LCM(642,159) = 102078 / 3
LCM(642,159) = 34026
