Lets's calculate LCM of 532,3636
2 | 532, 3636 |
2 | 266, 1818 |
133, 909 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 133 x 909 = 483588
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/483588
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2740/532,8531/3636 is 1/483588
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 532,3636 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(532,3636) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(532,3636) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(532,3636) = ( 532 × 3636 ) / 4
LCM(532,3636) = 1934352 / 4
LCM(532,3636) = 483588
