Lets's calculate LCM of 171,2247
3 | 171, 2247 |
57, 749 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 57 x 749 = 128079
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/128079
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4550/171,5516/2247 is 14/128079
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 171,2247 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(171,2247) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(171,2247) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(171,2247) = ( 171 × 2247 ) / 3
LCM(171,2247) = 384237 / 3
LCM(171,2247) = 128079
