Lets's calculate LCM of 272,582
2 | 272, 582 |
136, 291 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 136 x 291 = 79152
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 145/79152
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5945/272,9715/582 is 145/79152
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 272,582 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,582) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(272,582) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(272,582) = ( 272 × 582 ) / 2
LCM(272,582) = 158304 / 2
LCM(272,582) = 79152
