Lets's calculate LCM of 592,1512
2 | 592, 1512 |
2 | 296, 756 |
2 | 148, 378 |
74, 189 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 74 x 189 = 111888
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/111888
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6237/592,3507/1512 is 21/111888
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 592,1512 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(592,1512) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(592,1512) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(592,1512) = ( 592 × 1512 ) / 8
LCM(592,1512) = 895104 / 8
LCM(592,1512) = 111888
