Lets's calculate LCM of 564,7474
2 | 564, 7474 |
282, 3737 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 282 x 3737 = 2107668
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/2107668
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2544/564,4592/7474 is 16/2107668
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 564,7474 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(564,7474) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(564,7474) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(564,7474) = ( 564 × 7474 ) / 2
LCM(564,7474) = 4215336 / 2
LCM(564,7474) = 2107668
