Lets's calculate LCM of 27,534
3 | 27, 534 |
9, 178 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 9 x 178 = 4806
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/4806
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8720/27,9336/534 is 8/4806
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 27,534 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,534) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,534) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(27,534) = ( 27 × 534 ) / 3
LCM(27,534) = 14418 / 3
LCM(27,534) = 4806
