Lets's calculate LCM of 488,9732
2 | 488, 9732 |
2 | 244, 4866 |
122, 2433 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 122 x 2433 = 1187304
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/1187304
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2050/488,8540/9732 is 10/1187304
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 488,9732 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(488,9732) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(488,9732) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(488,9732) = ( 488 × 9732 ) / 4
LCM(488,9732) = 4749216 / 4
LCM(488,9732) = 1187304
