We found the factors 28,50 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 28,50 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 108,5208
2 | 108, 5208 |
2 | 54, 2604 |
3 | 27, 1302 |
9, 434 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 9 x 434 = 46872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/46872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/108,50/5208 is 2/46872
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 108,5208 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(108,5208) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(108,5208) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(108,5208) = ( 108 × 5208 ) / 12
LCM(108,5208) = 562464 / 12
LCM(108,5208) = 46872
