So the greatest common factor 891,891 is 891.
Lets's calculate LCM of 526,596
2 | 526, 596 |
263, 298 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 263 x 298 = 156748
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 891/156748
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 891/526,891/596 is 891/156748
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 526,596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(526,596) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(526,596) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(526,596) = ( 526 × 596 ) / 2
LCM(526,596) = 313496 / 2
LCM(526,596) = 156748
