Lets's calculate LCM of 268,7524
2 | 268, 7524 |
2 | 134, 3762 |
67, 1881 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 67 x 1881 = 504108
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/504108
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3584/268,2558/7524 is 2/504108
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 268,7524 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(268,7524) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(268,7524) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(268,7524) = ( 268 × 7524 ) / 4
LCM(268,7524) = 2016432 / 4
LCM(268,7524) = 504108
