So the greatest common factor 572,182 is 26.
Lets's calculate LCM of 46,836
2 | 46, 836 |
23, 418 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 23 x 418 = 19228
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 26/19228
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 572/46,182/836 is 26/19228
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 46,836 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,836) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(46,836) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(46,836) = ( 46 × 836 ) / 2
LCM(46,836) = 38456 / 2
LCM(46,836) = 19228
