Lets's calculate LCM of 240,5553
3 | 240, 5553 |
80, 1851 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 80 x 1851 = 444240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/444240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5984/240,1897/5553 is 1/444240
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 240,5553 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,5553) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(240,5553) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(240,5553) = ( 240 × 5553 ) / 3
LCM(240,5553) = 1332720 / 3
LCM(240,5553) = 444240
