Lets's calculate LCM of 322,1538
2 | 322, 1538 |
161, 769 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 161 x 769 = 247618
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/247618
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 553/322,6985/1538 is 1/247618
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 322,1538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(322,1538) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(322,1538) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(322,1538) = ( 322 × 1538 ) / 2
LCM(322,1538) = 495236 / 2
LCM(322,1538) = 247618
