Lets's calculate LCM of 554,6506
2 | 554, 6506 |
277, 3253 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 277 x 3253 = 1802162
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1802162
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5536/554,9982/6506 is 2/1802162
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 554,6506 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(554,6506) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(554,6506) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(554,6506) = ( 554 × 6506 ) / 2
LCM(554,6506) = 3604324 / 2
LCM(554,6506) = 1802162
