Lets's calculate LCM of 948,987
3 | 948, 987 |
316, 329 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 316 x 329 = 311892
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/311892
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9781/948,2198/987 is 1/311892
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 948,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(948,987) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(948,987) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(948,987) = ( 948 × 987 ) / 3
LCM(948,987) = 935676 / 3
LCM(948,987) = 311892
