Lets's calculate LCM of 524,3968
2 | 524, 3968 |
2 | 262, 1984 |
131, 992 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 131 x 992 = 519808
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/519808
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5637/524,6525/3968 is 3/519808
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 524,3968 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(524,3968) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(524,3968) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(524,3968) = ( 524 × 3968 ) / 4
LCM(524,3968) = 2079232 / 4
LCM(524,3968) = 519808
