Lets's calculate LCM of 721,994
7 | 721, 994 |
103, 142 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 103 x 142 = 102382
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/102382
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3114/721,7659/994 is 9/102382
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 721,994 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(721,994) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(721,994) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(721,994) = ( 721 × 994 ) / 7
LCM(721,994) = 716674 / 7
LCM(721,994) = 102382
