Lets's calculate LCM of 56,578
2 | 56, 578 |
28, 289 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 28 x 289 = 16184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 686/56,403/578 is 1/16184
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 56,578 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,578) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(56,578) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(56,578) = ( 56 × 578 ) / 2
LCM(56,578) = 32368 / 2
LCM(56,578) = 16184
