Lets's calculate LCM of 624,7071
3 | 624, 7071 |
208, 2357 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 208 x 2357 = 1470768
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/1470768
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2538/624,4932/7071 is 18/1470768
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 624,7071 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(624,7071) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(624,7071) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(624,7071) = ( 624 × 7071 ) / 3
LCM(624,7071) = 4412304 / 3
LCM(624,7071) = 1470768
