So the greatest common factor 1116,3998 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 553,441
7 | 553, 441 |
79, 63 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 79 x 63 = 34839
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/34839
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1116/553,3998/441 is 2/34839
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 553,441 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(553,441) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(553,441) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(553,441) = ( 553 × 441 ) / 7
LCM(553,441) = 243873 / 7
LCM(553,441) = 34839
