So the greatest common factor 8737,4993 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 532,856
2 | 532, 856 |
2 | 266, 428 |
133, 214 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 133 x 214 = 113848
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/113848
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8737/532,4993/856 is 1/113848
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 532,856 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(532,856) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(532,856) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(532,856) = ( 532 × 856 ) / 4
LCM(532,856) = 455392 / 4
LCM(532,856) = 113848
