Lets's calculate LCM of 888,5522
2 | 888, 5522 |
444, 2761 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 444 x 2761 = 2451768
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2451768
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4551/888,5970/5522 is 3/2451768
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 888,5522 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(888,5522) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(888,5522) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(888,5522) = ( 888 × 5522 ) / 2
LCM(888,5522) = 4903536 / 2
LCM(888,5522) = 2451768
