Lets's calculate LCM of 567,2581
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1463427
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 537/1463427
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 537/567,9666/2581 is 537/1463427
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 567,2581 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(567,2581) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(567,2581) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(567,2581) = ( 567 × 2581 ) / 1
LCM(567,2581) = 1463427 / 1
LCM(567,2581) = 1463427
