So the greatest common factor 3566,1488 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,258
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7482
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7482
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3566/29,1488/258 is 2/7482
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 29,258 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,258) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,258) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,258) = ( 29 × 258 ) / 1
LCM(29,258) = 7482 / 1
LCM(29,258) = 7482
