Lets's calculate GCF of 59,29
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 536,2752
2 | 536, 2752 |
2 | 268, 1376 |
2 | 134, 688 |
67, 344 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 67 x 344 = 184384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/184384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 59/536,29/2752 is 1/184384
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 536,2752 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(536,2752) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(536,2752) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(536,2752) = ( 536 × 2752 ) / 8
LCM(536,2752) = 1475072 / 8
LCM(536,2752) = 184384
