Lets's calculate LCM of 568,738
2 | 568, 738 |
284, 369 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 284 x 369 = 209592
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/209592
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3530/568,2861/738 is 1/209592
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 568,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(568,738) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(568,738) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(568,738) = ( 568 × 738 ) / 2
LCM(568,738) = 419184 / 2
LCM(568,738) = 209592
