Lets's calculate LCM of 596,932
2 | 596, 932 |
2 | 298, 466 |
149, 233 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 149 x 233 = 138868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/138868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 839/596,712/932 is 1/138868
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 596,932 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(596,932) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(596,932) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(596,932) = ( 596 × 932 ) / 4
LCM(596,932) = 555472 / 4
LCM(596,932) = 138868
