Lets's calculate LCM of 576,591
3 | 576, 591 |
192, 197 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 192 x 197 = 113472
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/113472
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 208/576,7211/591 is 1/113472
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 576,591 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(576,591) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(576,591) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(576,591) = ( 576 × 591 ) / 3
LCM(576,591) = 340416 / 3
LCM(576,591) = 113472
