Lets's calculate LCM of 509,3044
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1549396
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 168/1549396
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 168/509,9408/3044 is 168/1549396
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 509,3044 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(509,3044) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(509,3044) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(509,3044) = ( 509 × 3044 ) / 1
LCM(509,3044) = 1549396 / 1
LCM(509,3044) = 1549396
