Lets's calculate LCM of 537,486
3 | 537, 486 |
179, 162 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 179 x 162 = 86994
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/86994
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7125/537,9840/486 is 15/86994
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 537,486 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(537,486) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(537,486) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(537,486) = ( 537 × 486 ) / 3
LCM(537,486) = 260982 / 3
LCM(537,486) = 86994
