3 | 549, 5229 |
3 | 183, 1743 |
61, 581 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 61 x 581 = 318969
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/318969
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7538/549,7881/5229 is 1/318969
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 549,5229 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(549,5229) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(549,5229) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(549,5229) = ( 549 × 5229 ) / 9
LCM(549,5229) = 2870721 / 9
LCM(549,5229) = 318969
