Lets's calculate LCM of 707,511
7 | 707, 511 |
101, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 101 x 73 = 51611
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/51611
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 901/707,2737/511 is 17/51611
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 707,511 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(707,511) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(707,511) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(707,511) = ( 707 × 511 ) / 7
LCM(707,511) = 361277 / 7
LCM(707,511) = 51611
