Lets's calculate LCM of 621,5931
3 | 621, 5931 |
3 | 207, 1977 |
69, 659 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 69 x 659 = 409239
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/409239
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 236/621,4281/5931 is 1/409239
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 621,5931 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(621,5931) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(621,5931) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(621,5931) = ( 621 × 5931 ) / 9
LCM(621,5931) = 3683151 / 9
LCM(621,5931) = 409239
