So the greatest common factor 3324,5574 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 440,509
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 223960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/223960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3324/440,5574/509 is 6/223960
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 440,509 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(440,509) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(440,509) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(440,509) = ( 440 × 509 ) / 1
LCM(440,509) = 223960 / 1
LCM(440,509) = 223960
