Lets's calculate LCM of 533,377
13 | 533, 377 |
41, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 41 x 29 = 15457
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/15457
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 838/533,508/377 is 2/15457
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 533,377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(533,377) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(533,377) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(533,377) = ( 533 × 377 ) / 13
LCM(533,377) = 200941 / 13
LCM(533,377) = 15457
