Lets's calculate LCM of 63,873
3 | 63, 873 |
3 | 21, 291 |
7, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 7 x 97 = 6111
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/6111
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4869/63,2658/873 is 3/6111
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 63,873 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,873) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(63,873) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(63,873) = ( 63 × 873 ) / 9
LCM(63,873) = 54999 / 9
LCM(63,873) = 6111
