Lets's calculate LCM of 387,5526
3 | 387, 5526 |
3 | 129, 1842 |
43, 614 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 43 x 614 = 237618
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/237618
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1917/387,4480/5526 is 1/237618
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 387,5526 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(387,5526) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(387,5526) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(387,5526) = ( 387 × 5526 ) / 9
LCM(387,5526) = 2138562 / 9
LCM(387,5526) = 237618
