Lets's calculate LCM of 540,1917
3 | 540, 1917 |
3 | 180, 639 |
3 | 60, 213 |
20, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 3 x 20 x 71 = 38340
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/38340
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8538/540,6656/1917 is 2/38340
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 540,1917 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(540,1917) = 27
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(540,1917) x common factors =27 x 1 = 27
LCM(540,1917) = ( 540 × 1917 ) / 27
LCM(540,1917) = 1035180 / 27
LCM(540,1917) = 38340
