Lets's calculate LCM of 546,5473
13 | 546, 5473 |
42, 421 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 42 x 421 = 229866
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/229866
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3021/546,1721/5473 is 1/229866
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 546,5473 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(546,5473) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(546,5473) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(546,5473) = ( 546 × 5473 ) / 13
LCM(546,5473) = 2988258 / 13
LCM(546,5473) = 229866
