Lets's calculate LCM of 567,3302
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1872234
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1872234
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3972/567,5271/3302 is 3/1872234
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 567,3302 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(567,3302) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(567,3302) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(567,3302) = ( 567 × 3302 ) / 1
LCM(567,3302) = 1872234 / 1
LCM(567,3302) = 1872234
