So the greatest common factor 991,1523 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 608,5924
2 | 608, 5924 |
2 | 304, 2962 |
152, 1481 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 152 x 1481 = 900448
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/900448
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 991/608,1523/5924 is 1/900448
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 608,5924 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(608,5924) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(608,5924) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(608,5924) = ( 608 × 5924 ) / 4
LCM(608,5924) = 3601792 / 4
LCM(608,5924) = 900448
