Lets's calculate LCM of 566,441
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 249606
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/249606
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3556/566,1340/441 is 4/249606
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 566,441 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(566,441) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(566,441) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(566,441) = ( 566 × 441 ) / 1
LCM(566,441) = 249606 / 1
LCM(566,441) = 249606
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
