So the greatest common factor 6876,1332 is 36.
Lets's calculate LCM of 544,2601
17 | 544, 2601 |
32, 153 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 32 x 153 = 83232
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 36/83232
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6876/544,1332/2601 is 36/83232
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 544,2601 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(544,2601) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(544,2601) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(544,2601) = ( 544 × 2601 ) / 17
LCM(544,2601) = 1414944 / 17
LCM(544,2601) = 83232
