Lets's calculate LCM of 517,737
11 | 517, 737 |
47, 67 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 47 x 67 = 34639
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/34639
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 526/517,294/737 is 2/34639
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 517,737 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(517,737) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(517,737) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(517,737) = ( 517 × 737 ) / 11
LCM(517,737) = 381029 / 11
LCM(517,737) = 34639
