Lets's calculate LCM of 596,312
2 | 596, 312 |
2 | 298, 156 |
149, 78 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 149 x 78 = 46488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/46488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 128/596,293/312 is 1/46488
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 596,312 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(596,312) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(596,312) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(596,312) = ( 596 × 312 ) / 4
LCM(596,312) = 185952 / 4
LCM(596,312) = 46488
