Lets's calculate LCM of 507,753
3 | 507, 753 |
169, 251 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 169 x 251 = 127257
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/127257
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1542/507,4593/753 is 3/127257
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 507,753 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(507,753) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(507,753) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(507,753) = ( 507 × 753 ) / 3
LCM(507,753) = 381771 / 3
LCM(507,753) = 127257
