So the greatest common factor 2016,6594 is 42.
Lets's calculate LCM of 509,1332
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 677988
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 42/677988
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2016/509,6594/1332 is 42/677988
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 509,1332 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(509,1332) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(509,1332) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(509,1332) = ( 509 × 1332 ) / 1
LCM(509,1332) = 677988 / 1
LCM(509,1332) = 677988
