Lets's calculate LCM of 217,2715
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 589155
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/589155
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9942/217,1488/2715 is 6/589155
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 217,2715 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(217,2715) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(217,2715) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(217,2715) = ( 217 × 2715 ) / 1
LCM(217,2715) = 589155 / 1
LCM(217,2715) = 589155
