Lets's calculate LCM of 568,544
2 | 568, 544 |
2 | 284, 272 |
2 | 142, 136 |
71, 68 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 71 x 68 = 38624
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/38624
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8570/568,2974/544 is 2/38624
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 568,544 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(568,544) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(568,544) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(568,544) = ( 568 × 544 ) / 8
LCM(568,544) = 308992 / 8
LCM(568,544) = 38624
