Lets's calculate LCM of 18,5211
3 | 18, 5211 |
3 | 6, 1737 |
2, 579 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 2 x 579 = 10422
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/10422
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 132/18,948/5211 is 12/10422
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 18,5211 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,5211) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,5211) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(18,5211) = ( 18 × 5211 ) / 9
LCM(18,5211) = 93798 / 9
LCM(18,5211) = 10422
