Lets's calculate LCM of 562,5804
2 | 562, 5804 |
281, 2902 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 281 x 2902 = 1630924
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1630924
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2271/562,1272/5804 is 3/1630924
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 562,5804 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(562,5804) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(562,5804) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(562,5804) = ( 562 × 5804 ) / 2
LCM(562,5804) = 3261848 / 2
LCM(562,5804) = 1630924
