Lets's calculate LCM of 599,9072
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5434128
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/5434128
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2181/599,8697/9072 is 3/5434128
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 599,9072 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(599,9072) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(599,9072) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(599,9072) = ( 599 × 9072 ) / 1
LCM(599,9072) = 5434128 / 1
LCM(599,9072) = 5434128
