So the greatest common factor 1560,5412 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 271,588
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 159348
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/159348
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1560/271,5412/588 is 12/159348
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 271,588 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(271,588) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(271,588) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(271,588) = ( 271 × 588 ) / 1
LCM(271,588) = 159348 / 1
LCM(271,588) = 159348
