Lets's calculate LCM of 582,873
| 3 | 582, 873 |
| 97 | 194, 291 |
| 2, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 97 x 2 x 3 = 1746
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1746
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 53/582,224/873 is 1/1746
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 582,873 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(582,873) = 291
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(582,873) x common factors =291 x 1 = 291
LCM(582,873) = ( 582 × 873 ) / 291
LCM(582,873) = 508086 / 291
LCM(582,873) = 1746
