So the greatest common factor 1531,8539 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 722,448
2 | 722, 448 |
361, 224 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 361 x 224 = 161728
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/161728
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1531/722,8539/448 is 1/161728
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 722,448 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(722,448) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(722,448) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(722,448) = ( 722 × 448 ) / 2
LCM(722,448) = 323456 / 2
LCM(722,448) = 161728
