Lets's calculate LCM of 501,249
3 | 501, 249 |
167, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 167 x 83 = 41583
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/41583
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1727/501,4948/249 is 1/41583
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 501,249 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(501,249) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(501,249) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(501,249) = ( 501 × 249 ) / 3
LCM(501,249) = 124749 / 3
LCM(501,249) = 41583
