Lets's calculate LCM of 435,3596
29 | 435, 3596 |
15, 124 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 29 x 15 x 124 = 53940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/53940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4943/435,2974/3596 is 1/53940
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 435,3596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(435,3596) = 29
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(435,3596) x common factors =29 x 1 = 29
LCM(435,3596) = ( 435 × 3596 ) / 29
LCM(435,3596) = 1564260 / 29
LCM(435,3596) = 53940
