Lets's calculate LCM of 678,9660
2 | 678, 9660 |
3 | 339, 4830 |
113, 1610 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 113 x 1610 = 1091580
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/1091580
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5215/678,5537/9660 is 7/1091580
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 678,9660 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(678,9660) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(678,9660) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(678,9660) = ( 678 × 9660 ) / 6
LCM(678,9660) = 6549480 / 6
LCM(678,9660) = 1091580
