So the greatest common factor 504,3486 is 42.
Lets's calculate LCM of 582,176
2 | 582, 176 |
291, 88 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 291 x 88 = 51216
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 42/51216
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 504/582,3486/176 is 42/51216
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 582,176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(582,176) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(582,176) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(582,176) = ( 582 × 176 ) / 2
LCM(582,176) = 102432 / 2
LCM(582,176) = 51216
