So the greatest common factor 284,160 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 39,6188
13 | 39, 6188 |
3, 476 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 3 x 476 = 18564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/18564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 284/39,160/6188 is 4/18564
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 39,6188 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(39,6188) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(39,6188) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(39,6188) = ( 39 × 6188 ) / 13
LCM(39,6188) = 241332 / 13
LCM(39,6188) = 18564
