Lets's calculate LCM of 28,1252
2 | 28, 1252 |
2 | 14, 626 |
7, 313 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 313 = 8764
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/8764
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 585/28,920/1252 is 5/8764
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 28,1252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,1252) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(28,1252) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(28,1252) = ( 28 × 1252 ) / 4
LCM(28,1252) = 35056 / 4
LCM(28,1252) = 8764
