So the greatest common factor 566,5856 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 291,360
3 | 291, 360 |
97, 120 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 97 x 120 = 34920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/34920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 566/291,5856/360 is 2/34920
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 291,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(291,360) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(291,360) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(291,360) = ( 291 × 360 ) / 3
LCM(291,360) = 104760 / 3
LCM(291,360) = 34920
