Lets's calculate LCM of 884,5920
2 | 884, 5920 |
2 | 442, 2960 |
221, 1480 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 221 x 1480 = 1308320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/1308320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1884/884,4974/5920 is 6/1308320
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 884,5920 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(884,5920) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(884,5920) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(884,5920) = ( 884 × 5920 ) / 4
LCM(884,5920) = 5233280 / 4
LCM(884,5920) = 1308320
