So the greatest common factor 573,238 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,2802
| 2 | 26, 2802 |
| 13, 1401 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 1401 = 36426
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/36426
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 573/26,238/2802 is 1/36426
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 26,2802 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,2802) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,2802) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(26,2802) = ( 26 × 2802 ) / 2
LCM(26,2802) = 72852 / 2
LCM(26,2802) = 36426
