Lets's calculate LCM of 570,3196
2 | 570, 3196 |
285, 1598 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 285 x 1598 = 910860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/910860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2971/570,8236/3196 is 1/910860
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 570,3196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(570,3196) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(570,3196) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(570,3196) = ( 570 × 3196 ) / 2
LCM(570,3196) = 1821720 / 2
LCM(570,3196) = 910860
