Lets's calculate LCM of 554,878
2 | 554, 878 |
277, 439 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 277 x 439 = 243206
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/243206
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3189/554,3207/878 is 3/243206
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 554,878 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(554,878) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(554,878) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(554,878) = ( 554 × 878 ) / 2
LCM(554,878) = 486412 / 2
LCM(554,878) = 243206
