Lets's calculate LCM of 261,4938
3 | 261, 4938 |
87, 1646 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 87 x 1646 = 429606
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/429606
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2096/261,2243/4938 is 1/429606
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 261,4938 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(261,4938) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(261,4938) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(261,4938) = ( 261 × 4938 ) / 3
LCM(261,4938) = 1288818 / 3
LCM(261,4938) = 429606
