Lets's calculate LCM of 66,4433
11 | 66, 4433 |
6, 403 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 6 x 403 = 26598
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/26598
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 144/66,546/4433 is 6/26598
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 66,4433 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,4433) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(66,4433) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(66,4433) = ( 66 × 4433 ) / 11
LCM(66,4433) = 292578 / 11
LCM(66,4433) = 26598
