Lets's calculate LCM of 979,5236
11 | 979, 5236 |
89, 476 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 89 x 476 = 466004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/466004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2152/979,2854/5236 is 2/466004
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 979,5236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(979,5236) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(979,5236) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(979,5236) = ( 979 × 5236 ) / 11
LCM(979,5236) = 5126044 / 11
LCM(979,5236) = 466004
