Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 12,5328 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 12,5328 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 586,7312
2 | 586, 7312 |
293, 3656 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 293 x 3656 = 2142416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/2142416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 12/586,5328/7312 is 12/2142416
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 586,7312 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(586,7312) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(586,7312) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(586,7312) = ( 586 × 7312 ) / 2
LCM(586,7312) = 4284832 / 2
LCM(586,7312) = 2142416
