Lets's calculate LCM of 648,9872
2 | 648, 9872 |
2 | 324, 4936 |
2 | 162, 2468 |
81, 1234 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 81 x 1234 = 799632
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/799632
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 104/648,5140/9872 is 4/799632
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 648,9872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(648,9872) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(648,9872) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(648,9872) = ( 648 × 9872 ) / 8
LCM(648,9872) = 6397056 / 8
LCM(648,9872) = 799632
