Lets's calculate LCM of 500,558
2 | 500, 558 |
250, 279 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 250 x 279 = 139500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/139500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 962/500,6196/558 is 2/139500
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 500,558 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(500,558) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(500,558) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(500,558) = ( 500 × 558 ) / 2
LCM(500,558) = 279000 / 2
LCM(500,558) = 139500
