3 | 279, 567 |
3 | 93, 189 |
31, 63 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 31 x 63 = 17577
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/17577
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5482/279,9246/567 is 2/17577
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 279,567 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,567) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,567) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(279,567) = ( 279 × 567 ) / 9
LCM(279,567) = 158193 / 9
LCM(279,567) = 17577
