Lets's calculate LCM of 273,111
3 | 273, 111 |
91, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 91 x 37 = 10101
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/10101
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4602/273,1686/111 is 6/10101
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 273,111 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(273,111) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(273,111) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(273,111) = ( 273 × 111 ) / 3
LCM(273,111) = 30303 / 3
LCM(273,111) = 10101
