Lets's calculate LCM of 539,638
11 | 539, 638 |
49, 58 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 49 x 58 = 31262
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/31262
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8508/539,1392/638 is 12/31262
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 539,638 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(539,638) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(539,638) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(539,638) = ( 539 × 638 ) / 11
LCM(539,638) = 343882 / 11
LCM(539,638) = 31262
