So the greatest common factor 4718,1088 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 592,2984
2 | 592, 2984 |
2 | 296, 1492 |
2 | 148, 746 |
74, 373 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 74 x 373 = 220816
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/220816
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4718/592,1088/2984 is 2/220816
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 592,2984 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(592,2984) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(592,2984) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(592,2984) = ( 592 × 2984 ) / 8
LCM(592,2984) = 1766528 / 8
LCM(592,2984) = 220816
