We found the factors 501,552 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 501,552 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 3433,1563
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5365779
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/5365779
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 501/3433,552/1563 is 3/5365779
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 3433,1563 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(3433,1563) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(3433,1563) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(3433,1563) = ( 3433 × 1563 ) / 1
LCM(3433,1563) = 5365779 / 1
LCM(3433,1563) = 5365779
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
