Lets's calculate LCM of 435,543
3 | 435, 543 |
145, 181 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 145 x 181 = 78735
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/78735
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 954/435,234/543 is 18/78735
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 435,543 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(435,543) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(435,543) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(435,543) = ( 435 × 543 ) / 3
LCM(435,543) = 236205 / 3
LCM(435,543) = 78735
