Lets's calculate LCM of 299,897
13 | 299, 897 |
23 | 23, 69 |
1, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 23 x 1 x 3 = 897
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/897
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3247/299,1326/897 is 17/897
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 299,897 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(299,897) = 299
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(299,897) x common factors =299 x 1 = 299
LCM(299,897) = ( 299 × 897 ) / 299
LCM(299,897) = 268203 / 299
LCM(299,897) = 897
