Lets's calculate LCM of 36,582
2 | 36, 582 |
3 | 18, 291 |
6, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 6 x 97 = 3492
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/3492
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 861/36,5516/582 is 7/3492
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 36,582 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,582) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,582) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(36,582) = ( 36 × 582 ) / 6
LCM(36,582) = 20952 / 6
LCM(36,582) = 3492
