Lets's calculate LCM of 488,592
2 | 488, 592 |
2 | 244, 296 |
2 | 122, 148 |
61, 74 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 61 x 74 = 36112
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/36112
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3776/488,5990/592 is 2/36112
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 488,592 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(488,592) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(488,592) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(488,592) = ( 488 × 592 ) / 8
LCM(488,592) = 288896 / 8
LCM(488,592) = 36112
