Lets's calculate LCM of 800,242
2 | 800, 242 |
400, 121 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 400 x 121 = 96800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/96800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 293/800,5536/242 is 1/96800
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 800,242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(800,242) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(800,242) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(800,242) = ( 800 × 242 ) / 2
LCM(800,242) = 193600 / 2
LCM(800,242) = 96800
