Lets's calculate LCM of 504,9468
2 | 504, 9468 |
2 | 252, 4734 |
3 | 126, 2367 |
3 | 42, 789 |
14, 263 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 14 x 263 = 132552
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/132552
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2959/504,6248/9468 is 11/132552
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 504,9468 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(504,9468) = 36
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(504,9468) x common factors =36 x 1 = 36
LCM(504,9468) = ( 504 × 9468 ) / 36
LCM(504,9468) = 4771872 / 36
LCM(504,9468) = 132552
