Lets's calculate LCM of 601,504
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 302904
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/302904
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5836/601,5742/504 is 2/302904
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 601,504 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(601,504) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(601,504) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(601,504) = ( 601 × 504 ) / 1
LCM(601,504) = 302904 / 1
LCM(601,504) = 302904
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
