Lets's calculate LCM of 564,141
3 | 564, 141 |
47 | 188, 47 |
4, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 47 x 4 x 1 = 564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5202/564,1778/141 is 2/564
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 564,141 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(564,141) = 141
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(564,141) x common factors =141 x 1 = 141
LCM(564,141) = ( 564 × 141 ) / 141
LCM(564,141) = 79524 / 141
LCM(564,141) = 564
