Lets's calculate LCM of 944,568
2 | 944, 568 |
2 | 472, 284 |
2 | 236, 142 |
118, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 118 x 71 = 67024
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/67024
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4384/944,8978/568 is 2/67024
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 944,568 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(944,568) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(944,568) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(944,568) = ( 944 × 568 ) / 8
LCM(944,568) = 536192 / 8
LCM(944,568) = 67024
