Lets's calculate LCM of 549,7728
3 | 549, 7728 |
183, 2576 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 183 x 2576 = 1414224
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1414224
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 394/549,2546/7728 is 2/1414224
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 549,7728 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(549,7728) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(549,7728) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(549,7728) = ( 549 × 7728 ) / 3
LCM(549,7728) = 4242672 / 3
LCM(549,7728) = 1414224
