Lets's calculate LCM of 261,6837
3 | 261, 6837 |
87, 2279 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 87 x 2279 = 594819
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/594819
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9861/261,2205/6837 is 3/594819
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 261,6837 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(261,6837) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(261,6837) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(261,6837) = ( 261 × 6837 ) / 3
LCM(261,6837) = 1784457 / 3
LCM(261,6837) = 594819
