Lets's calculate LCM of 573,756
3 | 573, 756 |
191, 252 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 191 x 252 = 144396
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/144396
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1215/573,6873/756 is 3/144396
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 573,756 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(573,756) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(573,756) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(573,756) = ( 573 × 756 ) / 3
LCM(573,756) = 433188 / 3
LCM(573,756) = 144396
