So the greatest common factor 7989,1992 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 130,234
2 | 130, 234 |
13 | 65, 117 |
5, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 5 x 9 = 1170
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1170
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7989/130,1992/234 is 3/1170
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 130,234 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(130,234) = 26
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(130,234) x common factors =26 x 1 = 26
LCM(130,234) = ( 130 × 234 ) / 26
LCM(130,234) = 30420 / 26
LCM(130,234) = 1170
