Lets's calculate LCM of 744,188
2 | 744, 188 |
2 | 372, 94 |
186, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 186 x 47 = 34968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 109/34968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2507/744,5995/188 is 109/34968
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 744,188 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(744,188) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(744,188) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(744,188) = ( 744 × 188 ) / 4
LCM(744,188) = 139872 / 4
LCM(744,188) = 34968
