Lets's calculate LCM of 722,5438
2 | 722, 5438 |
361, 2719 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 361 x 2719 = 1963118
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1963118
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1579/722,4612/5438 is 1/1963118
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 722,5438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(722,5438) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(722,5438) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(722,5438) = ( 722 × 5438 ) / 2
LCM(722,5438) = 3926236 / 2
LCM(722,5438) = 1963118
