Lets's calculate LCM of 572,8518
2 | 572, 8518 |
286, 4259 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 286 x 4259 = 2436148
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2436148
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7211/572,3737/8518 is 1/2436148
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 572,8518 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(572,8518) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(572,8518) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(572,8518) = ( 572 × 8518 ) / 2
LCM(572,8518) = 4872296 / 2
LCM(572,8518) = 2436148
