Lets's calculate LCM of 21,189
3 | 21, 189 |
7 | 7, 63 |
1, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 1 x 9 = 189
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 26/189
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1742/21,7930/189 is 26/189
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 21,189 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,189) = 21
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,189) x common factors =21 x 1 = 21
LCM(21,189) = ( 21 × 189 ) / 21
LCM(21,189) = 3969 / 21
LCM(21,189) = 189
