Lets's calculate LCM of 58,636
2 | 58, 636 |
29, 318 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 29 x 318 = 18444
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/18444
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5859/58,2658/636 is 3/18444
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 58,636 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,636) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(58,636) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(58,636) = ( 58 × 636 ) / 2
LCM(58,636) = 36888 / 2
LCM(58,636) = 18444
