Lets's calculate LCM of 556,978
2 | 556, 978 |
278, 489 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 278 x 489 = 271884
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/271884
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 933/556,8709/978 is 3/271884
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 556,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(556,978) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(556,978) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(556,978) = ( 556 × 978 ) / 2
LCM(556,978) = 543768 / 2
LCM(556,978) = 271884
