Lets's calculate LCM of 120,1143
3 | 120, 1143 |
40, 381 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 40 x 381 = 45720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/45720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9459/120,3156/1143 is 3/45720
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 120,1143 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(120,1143) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(120,1143) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(120,1143) = ( 120 × 1143 ) / 3
LCM(120,1143) = 137160 / 3
LCM(120,1143) = 45720
