Lets's calculate LCM of 549,5094
3 | 549, 5094 |
3 | 183, 1698 |
61, 566 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 61 x 566 = 310734
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/310734
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1878/549,1149/5094 is 3/310734
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 549,5094 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(549,5094) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(549,5094) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(549,5094) = ( 549 × 5094 ) / 9
LCM(549,5094) = 2796606 / 9
LCM(549,5094) = 310734
