Lets's calculate LCM of 548,2256
2 | 548, 2256 |
2 | 274, 1128 |
137, 564 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 137 x 564 = 309072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/309072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1178/548,9564/2256 is 2/309072
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 548,2256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(548,2256) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(548,2256) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(548,2256) = ( 548 × 2256 ) / 4
LCM(548,2256) = 1236288 / 4
LCM(548,2256) = 309072
