Lets's calculate LCM of 556,218
2 | 556, 218 |
278, 109 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 278 x 109 = 60604
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/60604
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7491/556,9401/218 is 1/60604
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 556,218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(556,218) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(556,218) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(556,218) = ( 556 × 218 ) / 2
LCM(556,218) = 121208 / 2
LCM(556,218) = 60604
