Lets's calculate LCM of 512,596
2 | 512, 596 |
2 | 256, 298 |
128, 149 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 128 x 149 = 76288
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/76288
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5594/512,9146/596 is 2/76288
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 512,596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(512,596) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(512,596) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(512,596) = ( 512 × 596 ) / 4
LCM(512,596) = 305152 / 4
LCM(512,596) = 76288
