So the greatest common factor 1506,5607 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 331,1991
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 659021
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/659021
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1506/331,5607/1991 is 3/659021
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 331,1991 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(331,1991) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(331,1991) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(331,1991) = ( 331 × 1991 ) / 1
LCM(331,1991) = 659021 / 1
LCM(331,1991) = 659021
