So the greatest common factor 2970,5716 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 564,574
2 | 564, 574 |
282, 287 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 282 x 287 = 161868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/161868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2970/564,5716/574 is 2/161868
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 564,574 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(564,574) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(564,574) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(564,574) = ( 564 × 574 ) / 2
LCM(564,574) = 323736 / 2
LCM(564,574) = 161868
