Lets's calculate LCM of 143,599
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 85657
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/85657
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5562/143,7312/599 is 2/85657
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 143,599 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(143,599) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(143,599) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(143,599) = ( 143 × 599 ) / 1
LCM(143,599) = 85657 / 1
LCM(143,599) = 85657
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
