Lets's calculate LCM of 539,979
11 | 539, 979 |
49, 89 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 49 x 89 = 47971
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47971
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 372/539,2651/979 is 1/47971
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 539,979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(539,979) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(539,979) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(539,979) = ( 539 × 979 ) / 11
LCM(539,979) = 527681 / 11
LCM(539,979) = 47971
