Lets's calculate LCM of 99,387
3 | 99, 387 |
3 | 33, 129 |
11, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 11 x 43 = 4257
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4257
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1702/99,8248/387 is 2/4257
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 99,387 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,387) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,387) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(99,387) = ( 99 × 387 ) / 9
LCM(99,387) = 38313 / 9
LCM(99,387) = 4257
