So the greatest common factor 3486,4890 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,161
7 | 63, 161 |
9, 23 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 9 x 23 = 1449
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/1449
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3486/63,4890/161 is 6/1449
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 63,161 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,161) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(63,161) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(63,161) = ( 63 × 161 ) / 7
LCM(63,161) = 10143 / 7
LCM(63,161) = 1449
