Lets's calculate LCM of 117,279
3 | 117, 279 |
3 | 39, 93 |
13, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 13 x 31 = 3627
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3627
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 132/117,7090/279 is 2/3627
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 117,279 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(117,279) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(117,279) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(117,279) = ( 117 × 279 ) / 9
LCM(117,279) = 32643 / 9
LCM(117,279) = 3627
