Lets's calculate LCM of 508,889
127 | 508, 889 |
4, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 127 x 4 x 7 = 3556
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3556
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5637/508,2943/889 is 3/3556
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 508,889 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(508,889) = 127
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(508,889) x common factors =127 x 1 = 127
LCM(508,889) = ( 508 × 889 ) / 127
LCM(508,889) = 451612 / 127
LCM(508,889) = 3556
