So the greatest common factor 3491,1632 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 274,522
2 | 274, 522 |
137, 261 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 137 x 261 = 71514
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/71514
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3491/274,1632/522 is 1/71514
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 274,522 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(274,522) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(274,522) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(274,522) = ( 274 × 522 ) / 2
LCM(274,522) = 143028 / 2
LCM(274,522) = 71514
