Lets's calculate LCM of 444,8488
2 | 444, 8488 |
2 | 222, 4244 |
111, 2122 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 111 x 2122 = 942168
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/942168
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1128/444,2940/8488 is 12/942168
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 444,8488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(444,8488) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(444,8488) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(444,8488) = ( 444 × 8488 ) / 4
LCM(444,8488) = 3768672 / 4
LCM(444,8488) = 942168
