So the greatest common factor 152,985 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 636,574
2 | 636, 574 |
318, 287 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 318 x 287 = 182532
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/182532
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 152/636,985/574 is 1/182532
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 636,574 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(636,574) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(636,574) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(636,574) = ( 636 × 574 ) / 2
LCM(636,574) = 365064 / 2
LCM(636,574) = 182532
