2 | 184, 2412 |
2 | 92, 1206 |
46, 603 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 46 x 603 = 110952
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/110952
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3171/184,5866/2412 is 7/110952
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 184,2412 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(184,2412) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(184,2412) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(184,2412) = ( 184 × 2412 ) / 4
LCM(184,2412) = 443808 / 4
LCM(184,2412) = 110952
