So the greatest common factor 2264,8688 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 548,4247
137 | 548, 4247 |
4, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 137 x 4 x 31 = 16988
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/16988
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2264/548,8688/4247 is 8/16988
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 548,4247 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(548,4247) = 137
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(548,4247) x common factors =137 x 1 = 137
LCM(548,4247) = ( 548 × 4247 ) / 137
LCM(548,4247) = 2327356 / 137
LCM(548,4247) = 16988
