Lets's calculate LCM of 522,538
2 | 522, 538 |
261, 269 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 261 x 269 = 140418
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/140418
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2664/522,1425/538 is 3/140418
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 522,538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(522,538) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(522,538) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(522,538) = ( 522 × 538 ) / 2
LCM(522,538) = 280836 / 2
LCM(522,538) = 140418
