3 | 171, 6603 |
57, 2201 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 57 x 2201 = 376371
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/376371
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2581/171,1178/6603 is 1/376371
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 171,6603 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(171,6603) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(171,6603) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(171,6603) = ( 171 × 6603 ) / 3
LCM(171,6603) = 1129113 / 3
LCM(171,6603) = 376371
