Lets's calculate LCM of 546,286
2 | 546, 286 |
13 | 273, 143 |
21, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 21 x 11 = 6006
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 149/6006
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 447/546,596/286 is 149/6006
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 546,286 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(546,286) = 26
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(546,286) x common factors =26 x 1 = 26
LCM(546,286) = ( 546 × 286 ) / 26
LCM(546,286) = 156156 / 26
LCM(546,286) = 6006
