Lets's calculate LCM of 287,7119
7 | 287, 7119 |
41, 1017 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 41 x 1017 = 291879
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/291879
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 420/287,5205/7119 is 15/291879
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 287,7119 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(287,7119) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(287,7119) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(287,7119) = ( 287 × 7119 ) / 7
LCM(287,7119) = 2043153 / 7
LCM(287,7119) = 291879
