Lets's calculate LCM of 478,2722
2 | 478, 2722 |
239, 1361 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 239 x 1361 = 650558
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 161/650558
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9177/478,5957/2722 is 161/650558
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 478,2722 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(478,2722) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(478,2722) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(478,2722) = ( 478 × 2722 ) / 2
LCM(478,2722) = 1301116 / 2
LCM(478,2722) = 650558
