So the greatest common factor 546,891 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,566
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 43582
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/43582
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 546/77,891/566 is 3/43582
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 77,566 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,566) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,566) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,566) = ( 77 × 566 ) / 1
LCM(77,566) = 43582 / 1
LCM(77,566) = 43582
