Lets's calculate LCM of 828,132
2 | 828, 132 |
2 | 414, 66 |
3 | 207, 33 |
69, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 69 x 11 = 9108
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/9108
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4242/828,9567/132 is 3/9108
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 828,132 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(828,132) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(828,132) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(828,132) = ( 828 × 132 ) / 12
LCM(828,132) = 109296 / 12
LCM(828,132) = 9108
