Lets's calculate LCM of 501,3582
3 | 501, 3582 |
167, 1194 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 167 x 1194 = 598194
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/598194
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9638/501,5436/3582 is 2/598194
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 501,3582 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(501,3582) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(501,3582) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(501,3582) = ( 501 × 3582 ) / 3
LCM(501,3582) = 1794582 / 3
LCM(501,3582) = 598194
