Lets's calculate LCM of 516,4562
2 | 516, 4562 |
258, 2281 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 258 x 2281 = 1176996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 29/1176996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3248/516,1479/4562 is 29/1176996
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 516,4562 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(516,4562) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(516,4562) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(516,4562) = ( 516 × 4562 ) / 2
LCM(516,4562) = 2353992 / 2
LCM(516,4562) = 1176996
