Lets's calculate LCM of 556,310
2 | 556, 310 |
278, 155 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 278 x 155 = 86180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/86180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 532/556,7492/310 is 4/86180
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 556,310 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(556,310) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(556,310) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(556,310) = ( 556 × 310 ) / 2
LCM(556,310) = 172360 / 2
LCM(556,310) = 86180
