Lets's calculate LCM of 582,552
2 | 582, 552 |
3 | 291, 276 |
97, 92 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 97 x 92 = 53544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/53544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1726/582,4236/552 is 2/53544
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 582,552 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(582,552) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(582,552) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(582,552) = ( 582 × 552 ) / 6
LCM(582,552) = 321264 / 6
LCM(582,552) = 53544
