In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 6993,5994
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 6993,5994 is 999 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 651,451 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 651,451 is 293601 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 6993,5994
3 | 6993, 5994 |
3 | 2331, 1998 |
3 | 777, 666 |
37 | 259, 222 |
7, 6 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 3 x 37 = 999

1,2,3,6,9,18,27,37,54,74,81,111,162,222,333,666,999,1998,2997,5994
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6993,5994 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6993,5994 is 999.
Lets's calculate LCM of 651,451
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 293601
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 999/293601
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6993/651,5994/451 is 999/293601
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 651,451 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(651,451) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(651,451) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(651,451) = ( 651 × 451 ) / 1
LCM(651,451) = 293601 / 1
LCM(651,451) = 293601
