3 | 531, 1041 |
177, 347 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 177 x 347 = 184257
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/184257
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3521/531,5734/1041 is 1/184257
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 531,1041 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(531,1041) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(531,1041) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(531,1041) = ( 531 × 1041 ) / 3
LCM(531,1041) = 552771 / 3
LCM(531,1041) = 184257
