Lets's calculate LCM of 796,572
2 | 796, 572 |
2 | 398, 286 |
199, 143 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 199 x 143 = 113828
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/113828
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2150/796,1146/572 is 2/113828
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 796,572 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(796,572) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(796,572) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(796,572) = ( 796 × 572 ) / 4
LCM(796,572) = 455312 / 4
LCM(796,572) = 113828
