Lets's calculate LCM of 237,291
3 | 237, 291 |
79, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 79 x 97 = 22989
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/22989
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6816/237,5340/291 is 12/22989
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 237,291 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(237,291) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(237,291) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(237,291) = ( 237 × 291 ) / 3
LCM(237,291) = 68967 / 3
LCM(237,291) = 22989
