Lets's calculate LCM of 56,5028
2 | 56, 5028 |
2 | 28, 2514 |
14, 1257 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 14 x 1257 = 70392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/70392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 436/56,962/5028 is 2/70392
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 56,5028 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,5028) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(56,5028) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(56,5028) = ( 56 × 5028 ) / 4
LCM(56,5028) = 281568 / 4
LCM(56,5028) = 70392
