So the greatest common factor 3002,5532 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 507,147
3 | 507, 147 |
169, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 169 x 49 = 24843
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/24843
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3002/507,5532/147 is 2/24843
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 507,147 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(507,147) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(507,147) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(507,147) = ( 507 × 147 ) / 3
LCM(507,147) = 74529 / 3
LCM(507,147) = 24843
