Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5097,4785 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5097,4785 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,243
3 | 60, 243 |
20, 81 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 20 x 81 = 4860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/4860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5097/60,4785/243 is 3/4860
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 60,243 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,243) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(60,243) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(60,243) = ( 60 × 243 ) / 3
LCM(60,243) = 14580 / 3
LCM(60,243) = 4860
