So the greatest common factor 501,120 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 547,127
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 69469
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/69469
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 501/547,120/127 is 3/69469
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 547,127 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(547,127) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(547,127) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(547,127) = ( 547 × 127 ) / 1
LCM(547,127) = 69469 / 1
LCM(547,127) = 69469
