Lets's calculate LCM of 458,1308
2 | 458, 1308 |
229, 654 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 229 x 654 = 299532
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/299532
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5531/458,3560/1308 is 1/299532
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 458,1308 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(458,1308) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(458,1308) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(458,1308) = ( 458 × 1308 ) / 2
LCM(458,1308) = 599064 / 2
LCM(458,1308) = 299532
