So the greatest common factor 2924,2196 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 504,218
2 | 504, 218 |
252, 109 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 252 x 109 = 54936
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/54936
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2924/504,2196/218 is 4/54936
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 504,218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(504,218) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(504,218) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(504,218) = ( 504 × 218 ) / 2
LCM(504,218) = 109872 / 2
LCM(504,218) = 54936
