Lets's calculate LCM of 968,5570
2 | 968, 5570 |
484, 2785 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 484 x 2785 = 2695880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2695880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2873/968,1988/5570 is 1/2695880
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 968,5570 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(968,5570) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(968,5570) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(968,5570) = ( 968 × 5570 ) / 2
LCM(968,5570) = 5391760 / 2
LCM(968,5570) = 2695880
