So the greatest common factor 277,879 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 556,880
2 | 556, 880 |
2 | 278, 440 |
139, 220 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 139 x 220 = 122320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/122320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 277/556,879/880 is 1/122320
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 556,880 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(556,880) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(556,880) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(556,880) = ( 556 × 880 ) / 4
LCM(556,880) = 489280 / 4
LCM(556,880) = 122320
