Lets's calculate LCM of 572,5214
2 | 572, 5214 |
11 | 286, 2607 |
26, 237 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 26 x 237 = 135564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/135564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7374/572,2324/5214 is 2/135564
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 572,5214 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(572,5214) = 22
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(572,5214) x common factors =22 x 1 = 22
LCM(572,5214) = ( 572 × 5214 ) / 22
LCM(572,5214) = 2982408 / 22
LCM(572,5214) = 135564
