So the greatest common factor 9542,4000 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,324
3 | 99, 324 |
3 | 33, 108 |
11, 36 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 11 x 36 = 3564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9542/99,4000/324 is 2/3564
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 99,324 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,324) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,324) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(99,324) = ( 99 × 324 ) / 9
LCM(99,324) = 32076 / 9
LCM(99,324) = 3564
