Lets's calculate LCM of 568,396
2 | 568, 396 |
2 | 284, 198 |
142, 99 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 142 x 99 = 56232
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/56232
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 574/568,502/396 is 2/56232
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 568,396 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(568,396) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(568,396) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(568,396) = ( 568 × 396 ) / 4
LCM(568,396) = 224928 / 4
LCM(568,396) = 56232
