We found the factors 299,368 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 299,368 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 81,8877
3 | 81, 8877 |
27, 2959 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 27 x 2959 = 239679
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/239679
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 299/81,368/8877 is 23/239679
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 81,8877 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(81,8877) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(81,8877) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(81,8877) = ( 81 × 8877 ) / 3
LCM(81,8877) = 719037 / 3
LCM(81,8877) = 239679
