Lets's calculate LCM of 956,9056
2 | 956, 9056 |
2 | 478, 4528 |
239, 2264 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 239 x 2264 = 2164384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2164384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2248/956,5221/9056 is 1/2164384
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 956,9056 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(956,9056) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(956,9056) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(956,9056) = ( 956 × 9056 ) / 4
LCM(956,9056) = 8657536 / 4
LCM(956,9056) = 2164384
