So the greatest common factor 587,544 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 5336,2132
2 | 5336, 2132 |
2 | 2668, 1066 |
1334, 533 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 1334 x 533 = 2844088
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2844088
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 587/5336,544/2132 is 1/2844088
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 5336,2132 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(5336,2132) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(5336,2132) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(5336,2132) = ( 5336 × 2132 ) / 4
LCM(5336,2132) = 11376352 / 4
LCM(5336,2132) = 2844088
