Lets's calculate LCM of 523,594
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 310662
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/310662
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4942/523,7374/594 is 2/310662
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 523,594 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(523,594) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(523,594) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(523,594) = ( 523 × 594 ) / 1
LCM(523,594) = 310662 / 1
LCM(523,594) = 310662
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
