Lets's calculate LCM of 75,858
3 | 75, 858 |
25, 286 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 25 x 286 = 21450
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/21450
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5544/75,7968/858 is 24/21450
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 75,858 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(75,858) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(75,858) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(75,858) = ( 75 × 858 ) / 3
LCM(75,858) = 64350 / 3
LCM(75,858) = 21450
