Lets's calculate LCM of 253,8723
11 | 253, 8723 |
23, 793 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 23 x 793 = 200629
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/200629
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9872/253,4231/8723 is 1/200629
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 253,8723 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(253,8723) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(253,8723) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(253,8723) = ( 253 × 8723 ) / 11
LCM(253,8723) = 2206919 / 11
LCM(253,8723) = 200629
