So the greatest common factor 572,638 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 252,176
2 | 252, 176 |
2 | 126, 88 |
63, 44 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 63 x 44 = 11088
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/11088
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 572/252,638/176 is 22/11088
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 252,176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(252,176) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(252,176) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(252,176) = ( 252 × 176 ) / 4
LCM(252,176) = 44352 / 4
LCM(252,176) = 11088
