Lets's calculate LCM of 59,532
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 31388
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/31388
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 290/59,512/532 is 2/31388
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 59,532 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,532) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,532) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,532) = ( 59 × 532 ) / 1
LCM(59,532) = 31388 / 1
LCM(59,532) = 31388
