Lets's calculate LCM of 24,7556
2 | 24, 7556 |
2 | 12, 3778 |
6, 1889 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 6 x 1889 = 45336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/45336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 574/24,538/7556 is 2/45336
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 24,7556 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,7556) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,7556) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(24,7556) = ( 24 × 7556 ) / 4
LCM(24,7556) = 181344 / 4
LCM(24,7556) = 45336
