Lets's calculate LCM of 268,4556
2 | 268, 4556 |
2 | 134, 2278 |
67 | 67, 1139 |
1, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 67 x 1 x 17 = 4556
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4556
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4517/268,6596/4556 is 1/4556
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 268,4556 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(268,4556) = 268
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(268,4556) x common factors =268 x 1 = 268
LCM(268,4556) = ( 268 × 4556 ) / 268
LCM(268,4556) = 1221008 / 268
LCM(268,4556) = 4556
