Lets's calculate LCM of 687,747
3 | 687, 747 |
229, 249 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 229 x 249 = 171063
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/171063
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2998/687,6718/747 is 2/171063
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 687,747 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(687,747) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(687,747) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(687,747) = ( 687 × 747 ) / 3
LCM(687,747) = 513189 / 3
LCM(687,747) = 171063
