Lets's calculate LCM of 531,555
3 | 531, 555 |
177, 185 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 177 x 185 = 98235
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/98235
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 555/531,4589/555 is 1/98235
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 531,555 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(531,555) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(531,555) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(531,555) = ( 531 × 555 ) / 3
LCM(531,555) = 294705 / 3
LCM(531,555) = 98235
