Lets's calculate LCM of 596,856
2 | 596, 856 |
2 | 298, 428 |
149, 214 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 149 x 214 = 127544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/127544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1977/596,6643/856 is 1/127544
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 596,856 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(596,856) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(596,856) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(596,856) = ( 596 × 856 ) / 4
LCM(596,856) = 510176 / 4
LCM(596,856) = 127544
