2 | 368, 5592 |
2 | 184, 2796 |
2 | 92, 1398 |
46, 699 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 46 x 699 = 257232
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/257232
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1604/368,8858/5592 is 2/257232
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 368,5592 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(368,5592) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(368,5592) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(368,5592) = ( 368 × 5592 ) / 8
LCM(368,5592) = 2057856 / 8
LCM(368,5592) = 257232
