Lets's calculate LCM of 644,1038
2 | 644, 1038 |
322, 519 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 322 x 519 = 334236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/334236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2218/644,5652/1038 is 2/334236
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 644,1038 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(644,1038) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(644,1038) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(644,1038) = ( 644 × 1038 ) / 2
LCM(644,1038) = 668472 / 2
LCM(644,1038) = 334236
