Lets's calculate LCM of 596,1536
2 | 596, 1536 |
2 | 298, 768 |
149, 384 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 149 x 384 = 228864
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/228864
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9404/596,9254/1536 is 2/228864
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 596,1536 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(596,1536) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(596,1536) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(596,1536) = ( 596 × 1536 ) / 4
LCM(596,1536) = 915456 / 4
LCM(596,1536) = 228864
