So the greatest common factor 9444,1272 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 417,876
3 | 417, 876 |
139, 292 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 139 x 292 = 121764
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/121764
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9444/417,1272/876 is 12/121764
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 417,876 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(417,876) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(417,876) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(417,876) = ( 417 × 876 ) / 3
LCM(417,876) = 365292 / 3
LCM(417,876) = 121764
