So the greatest common factor 7537,2936 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 496,5344
2 | 496, 5344 |
2 | 248, 2672 |
2 | 124, 1336 |
2 | 62, 668 |
31, 334 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 31 x 334 = 165664
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/165664
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7537/496,2936/5344 is 1/165664
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 496,5344 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(496,5344) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(496,5344) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(496,5344) = ( 496 × 5344 ) / 16
LCM(496,5344) = 2650624 / 16
LCM(496,5344) = 165664
