Lets's calculate LCM of 72,243
3 | 72, 243 |
3 | 24, 81 |
8, 27 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 8 x 27 = 1944
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 39/1944
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 312/72,2535/243 is 39/1944
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 72,243 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,243) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,243) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(72,243) = ( 72 × 243 ) / 9
LCM(72,243) = 17496 / 9
LCM(72,243) = 1944
