So the greatest common factor 522,638 is 58.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,582
2 | 76, 582 |
38, 291 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 38 x 291 = 22116
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 58/22116
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 522/76,638/582 is 58/22116
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 76,582 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,582) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(76,582) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(76,582) = ( 76 × 582 ) / 2
LCM(76,582) = 44232 / 2
LCM(76,582) = 22116
