So the greatest common factor 534,968 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 122,578
2 | 122, 578 |
61, 289 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 61 x 289 = 35258
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/35258
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 534/122,968/578 is 2/35258
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 122,578 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(122,578) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(122,578) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(122,578) = ( 122 × 578 ) / 2
LCM(122,578) = 70516 / 2
LCM(122,578) = 35258
