So the greatest common factor 183,549 is 183.
Lets's calculate LCM of 292,636
2 | 292, 636 |
2 | 146, 318 |
73, 159 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 73 x 159 = 46428
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 183/46428
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 183/292,549/636 is 183/46428
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 292,636 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(292,636) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(292,636) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(292,636) = ( 292 × 636 ) / 4
LCM(292,636) = 185712 / 4
LCM(292,636) = 46428
