Lets's calculate LCM of 544,588
2 | 544, 588 |
2 | 272, 294 |
136, 147 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 136 x 147 = 79968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/79968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7456/544,8908/588 is 4/79968
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 544,588 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(544,588) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(544,588) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(544,588) = ( 544 × 588 ) / 4
LCM(544,588) = 319872 / 4
LCM(544,588) = 79968
