So the greatest common factor 1632,5056 is 32.
Lets's calculate LCM of 529,235
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 124315
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/124315
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1632/529,5056/235 is 32/124315
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 529,235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(529,235) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(529,235) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(529,235) = ( 529 × 235 ) / 1
LCM(529,235) = 124315 / 1
LCM(529,235) = 124315
