Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8229,3720 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8229,3720 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 273,711
3 | 273, 711 |
91, 237 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 91 x 237 = 64701
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/64701
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8229/273,3720/711 is 3/64701
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 273,711 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(273,711) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(273,711) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(273,711) = ( 273 × 711 ) / 3
LCM(273,711) = 194103 / 3
LCM(273,711) = 64701
