Lets's calculate LCM of 93,801
3 | 93, 801 |
31, 267 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 31 x 267 = 24831
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/24831
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8784/93,2872/801 is 8/24831
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 93,801 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(93,801) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(93,801) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(93,801) = ( 93 × 801 ) / 3
LCM(93,801) = 74493 / 3
LCM(93,801) = 24831
