Lets's calculate LCM of 36,723
3 | 36, 723 |
12, 241 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 12 x 241 = 8676
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/8676
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1953/36,9657/723 is 9/8676
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 36,723 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,723) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,723) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(36,723) = ( 36 × 723 ) / 3
LCM(36,723) = 26028 / 3
LCM(36,723) = 8676
