Lets's calculate LCM of 648,406
2 | 648, 406 |
324, 203 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 324 x 203 = 131544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/131544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 165/648,5931/406 is 3/131544
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 648,406 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(648,406) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(648,406) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(648,406) = ( 648 × 406 ) / 2
LCM(648,406) = 263088 / 2
LCM(648,406) = 131544
