Lets's calculate LCM of 3570,9903
3 | 3570, 9903 |
1190, 3301 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 1190 x 3301 = 11784570
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/11784570
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 552/3570,291/9903 is 3/11784570
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 3570,9903 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(3570,9903) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(3570,9903) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(3570,9903) = ( 3570 × 9903 ) / 3
LCM(3570,9903) = 35353710 / 3
LCM(3570,9903) = 11784570
