Lets's calculate LCM of 138,666
2 | 138, 666 |
3 | 69, 333 |
23, 111 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 23 x 111 = 15318
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/15318
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5789/138,3416/666 is 7/15318
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 138,666 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(138,666) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(138,666) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(138,666) = ( 138 × 666 ) / 6
LCM(138,666) = 91908 / 6
LCM(138,666) = 15318
