Lets's calculate LCM of 586,9768
2 | 586, 9768 |
293, 4884 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 293 x 4884 = 2862024
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2862024
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7024/586,3540/9768 is 4/2862024
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 586,9768 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(586,9768) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(586,9768) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(586,9768) = ( 586 × 9768 ) / 2
LCM(586,9768) = 5724048 / 2
LCM(586,9768) = 2862024
