Lets's calculate LCM of 528,484
2 | 528, 484 |
2 | 264, 242 |
11 | 132, 121 |
12, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 11 x 12 x 11 = 5808
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5808
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 118/528,960/484 is 2/5808
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 528,484 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(528,484) = 44
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(528,484) x common factors =44 x 1 = 44
LCM(528,484) = ( 528 × 484 ) / 44
LCM(528,484) = 255552 / 44
LCM(528,484) = 5808
