So the greatest common factor 8572,8560 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 561,284
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 159324
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/159324
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8572/561,8560/284 is 4/159324
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 561,284 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(561,284) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(561,284) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(561,284) = ( 561 × 284 ) / 1
LCM(561,284) = 159324 / 1
LCM(561,284) = 159324
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
