So the greatest common factor 5564,3536 is 52.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,734
2 | 58, 734 |
29, 367 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 29 x 367 = 21286
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 52/21286
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5564/58,3536/734 is 52/21286
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 58,734 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,734) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(58,734) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(58,734) = ( 58 × 734 ) / 2
LCM(58,734) = 42572 / 2
LCM(58,734) = 21286
