Lets's calculate LCM of 612,3592
2 | 612, 3592 |
2 | 306, 1796 |
153, 898 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 153 x 898 = 549576
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/549576
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2486/612,1228/3592 is 2/549576
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 612,3592 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(612,3592) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(612,3592) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(612,3592) = ( 612 × 3592 ) / 4
LCM(612,3592) = 2198304 / 4
LCM(612,3592) = 549576
