Lets's calculate LCM of 903,249
3 | 903, 249 |
301, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 301 x 83 = 74949
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/74949
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8958/903,4174/249 is 2/74949
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 903,249 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(903,249) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(903,249) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(903,249) = ( 903 × 249 ) / 3
LCM(903,249) = 224847 / 3
LCM(903,249) = 74949
