Lets's calculate LCM of 501,4437
3 | 501, 4437 |
167, 1479 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 167 x 1479 = 740979
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 578/740979
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4624/501,2890/4437 is 578/740979
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 501,4437 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(501,4437) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(501,4437) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(501,4437) = ( 501 × 4437 ) / 3
LCM(501,4437) = 2222937 / 3
LCM(501,4437) = 740979
