Lets's calculate LCM of 584,4932
2 | 584, 4932 |
2 | 292, 2466 |
146, 1233 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 146 x 1233 = 720072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/720072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7286/584,8970/4932 is 2/720072
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 584,4932 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(584,4932) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(584,4932) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(584,4932) = ( 584 × 4932 ) / 4
LCM(584,4932) = 2880288 / 4
LCM(584,4932) = 720072
