So the greatest common factor 782,144 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 54,261
3 | 54, 261 |
3 | 18, 87 |
6, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 6 x 29 = 1566
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1566
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 782/54,144/261 is 2/1566
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 54,261 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(54,261) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(54,261) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(54,261) = ( 54 × 261 ) / 9
LCM(54,261) = 14094 / 9
LCM(54,261) = 1566
