Lets's calculate LCM of 701,948
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 664548
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/664548
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5202/701,2133/948 is 9/664548
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 701,948 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(701,948) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(701,948) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(701,948) = ( 701 × 948 ) / 1
LCM(701,948) = 664548 / 1
LCM(701,948) = 664548
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
