Lets's calculate LCM of 891,297
3 | 891, 297 |
3 | 297, 99 |
3 | 33, 99 |
11 | 11, 33 |
1, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 3 x 11 x 1 x 3 = 891
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/891
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2674/891,7332/297 is 2/891
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 891,297 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(891,297) = 297
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(891,297) x common factors =297 x 1 = 297
LCM(891,297) = ( 891 × 297 ) / 297
LCM(891,297) = 264627 / 297
LCM(891,297) = 891
