Lets's calculate LCM of 585,1176
3 | 585, 1176 |
195, 392 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 195 x 392 = 229320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/229320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 509/585,3104/1176 is 1/229320
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 585,1176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(585,1176) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(585,1176) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(585,1176) = ( 585 × 1176 ) / 3
LCM(585,1176) = 687960 / 3
LCM(585,1176) = 229320
