So the greatest common factor 5540,9516 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 519,363
3 | 519, 363 |
173, 121 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 173 x 121 = 62799
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/62799
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5540/519,9516/363 is 4/62799
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 519,363 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(519,363) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(519,363) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(519,363) = ( 519 × 363 ) / 3
LCM(519,363) = 188397 / 3
LCM(519,363) = 62799
