Lets's calculate LCM of 532,9144
2 | 532, 9144 |
2 | 266, 4572 |
133, 2286 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 133 x 2286 = 1216152
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1216152
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1285/532,3581/9144 is 1/1216152
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 532,9144 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(532,9144) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(532,9144) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(532,9144) = ( 532 × 9144 ) / 4
LCM(532,9144) = 4864608 / 4
LCM(532,9144) = 1216152
