2 | 256, 8586 |
128, 4293 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 128 x 4293 = 1099008
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1099008
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3521/256,5164/8586 is 1/1099008
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 256,8586 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(256,8586) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(256,8586) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(256,8586) = ( 256 × 8586 ) / 2
LCM(256,8586) = 2198016 / 2
LCM(256,8586) = 1099008
