2 | 586, 4462 |
293, 2231 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 293 x 2231 = 1307366
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1307366
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 514/586,3238/4462 is 2/1307366
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 586,4462 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(586,4462) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(586,4462) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(586,4462) = ( 586 × 4462 ) / 2
LCM(586,4462) = 2614732 / 2
LCM(586,4462) = 1307366
