Lets's calculate LCM of 87,957
3 | 87, 957 |
29 | 29, 319 |
1, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 29 x 1 x 11 = 957
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/957
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1134/87,1442/957 is 14/957
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 87,957 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,957) = 87
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,957) x common factors =87 x 1 = 87
LCM(87,957) = ( 87 × 957 ) / 87
LCM(87,957) = 83259 / 87
LCM(87,957) = 957
