Lets's calculate LCM of 552,333
3 | 552, 333 |
184, 111 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 184 x 111 = 61272
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/61272
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 648/552,5138/333 is 2/61272
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 552,333 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(552,333) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(552,333) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(552,333) = ( 552 × 333 ) / 3
LCM(552,333) = 183816 / 3
LCM(552,333) = 61272
