So the greatest common factor 3286,5424 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 924,578
2 | 924, 578 |
462, 289 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 462 x 289 = 267036
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/267036
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3286/924,5424/578 is 2/267036
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 924,578 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(924,578) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(924,578) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(924,578) = ( 924 × 578 ) / 2
LCM(924,578) = 534072 / 2
LCM(924,578) = 267036
