Lets's calculate LCM of 531,993
3 | 531, 993 |
177, 331 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 177 x 331 = 175761
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/175761
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1156/531,6292/993 is 4/175761
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 531,993 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(531,993) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(531,993) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(531,993) = ( 531 × 993 ) / 3
LCM(531,993) = 527283 / 3
LCM(531,993) = 175761
