So the greatest common factor 516,6579 is 129.
Lets's calculate LCM of 548,4396
2 | 548, 4396 |
2 | 274, 2198 |
137, 1099 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 137 x 1099 = 602252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 129/602252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 516/548,6579/4396 is 129/602252
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 548,4396 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(548,4396) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(548,4396) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(548,4396) = ( 548 × 4396 ) / 4
LCM(548,4396) = 2409008 / 4
LCM(548,4396) = 602252
