Lets's calculate LCM of 888,444
2 | 888, 444 |
2 | 444, 222 |
3 | 111, 222 |
37 | 37, 74 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 37 x 1 x 2 = 888
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 39/888
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2652/888,5889/444 is 39/888
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 888,444 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(888,444) = 444
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(888,444) x common factors =444 x 1 = 444
LCM(888,444) = ( 888 × 444 ) / 444
LCM(888,444) = 394272 / 444
LCM(888,444) = 888
