Lets's calculate LCM of 793,3900
13 | 793, 3900 |
61, 300 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 61 x 300 = 237900
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/237900
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9666/793,1587/3900 is 3/237900
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 793,3900 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(793,3900) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(793,3900) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(793,3900) = ( 793 × 3900 ) / 13
LCM(793,3900) = 3092700 / 13
LCM(793,3900) = 237900
