Lets's calculate LCM of 527,5117
17 | 527, 5117 |
31, 301 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 31 x 301 = 158627
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/158627
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9891/527,3540/5117 is 3/158627
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 527,5117 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(527,5117) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(527,5117) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(527,5117) = ( 527 × 5117 ) / 17
LCM(527,5117) = 2696659 / 17
LCM(527,5117) = 158627
