Lets's calculate LCM of 561,1506
3 | 561, 1506 |
187, 502 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 187 x 502 = 281622
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/281622
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5995/561,3604/1506 is 1/281622
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 561,1506 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(561,1506) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(561,1506) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(561,1506) = ( 561 × 1506 ) / 3
LCM(561,1506) = 844866 / 3
LCM(561,1506) = 281622
