So the greatest common factor 564,524 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 462,598
2 | 462, 598 |
231, 299 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 231 x 299 = 138138
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/138138
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 564/462,524/598 is 4/138138
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 462,598 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(462,598) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(462,598) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(462,598) = ( 462 × 598 ) / 2
LCM(462,598) = 276276 / 2
LCM(462,598) = 138138
