Lets's calculate LCM of 226,5848
2 | 226, 5848 |
113, 2924 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 113 x 2924 = 660824
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/660824
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2597/226,9960/5848 is 1/660824
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 226,5848 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(226,5848) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(226,5848) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(226,5848) = ( 226 × 5848 ) / 2
LCM(226,5848) = 1321648 / 2
LCM(226,5848) = 660824
