2 | 392, 5736 |
2 | 196, 2868 |
2 | 98, 1434 |
49, 717 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 49 x 717 = 281064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/281064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1492/392,8922/5736 is 2/281064
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 392,5736 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(392,5736) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(392,5736) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(392,5736) = ( 392 × 5736 ) / 8
LCM(392,5736) = 2248512 / 8
LCM(392,5736) = 281064
