Lets's calculate LCM of 578,6798
2 | 578, 6798 |
289, 3399 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 289 x 3399 = 1964622
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1964622
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5981/578,1512/6798 is 1/1964622
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 578,6798 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(578,6798) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(578,6798) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(578,6798) = ( 578 × 6798 ) / 2
LCM(578,6798) = 3929244 / 2
LCM(578,6798) = 1964622
