Lets's calculate LCM of 372,578
| 2 | 372, 578 |
| 186, 289 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 186 x 289 = 107508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/107508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 360/372,6604/578 is 4/107508
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 372,578 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,578) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(372,578) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(372,578) = ( 372 × 578 ) / 2
LCM(372,578) = 215016 / 2
LCM(372,578) = 107508
