Lets's calculate LCM of 204,2348
2 | 204, 2348 |
2 | 102, 1174 |
51, 587 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 51 x 587 = 119748
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/119748
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2008/204,8503/2348 is 1/119748
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 204,2348 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(204,2348) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(204,2348) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(204,2348) = ( 204 × 2348 ) / 4
LCM(204,2348) = 478992 / 4
LCM(204,2348) = 119748
