Lets's calculate LCM of 539,4501
7 | 539, 4501 |
77, 643 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 77 x 643 = 346577
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/346577
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9042/539,8657/4501 is 11/346577
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 539,4501 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(539,4501) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(539,4501) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(539,4501) = ( 539 × 4501 ) / 7
LCM(539,4501) = 2426039 / 7
LCM(539,4501) = 346577
