Lets's calculate LCM of 956,5196
2 | 956, 5196 |
2 | 478, 2598 |
239, 1299 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 239 x 1299 = 1241844
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1241844
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3631/956,4562/5196 is 1/1241844
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 956,5196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(956,5196) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(956,5196) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(956,5196) = ( 956 × 5196 ) / 4
LCM(956,5196) = 4967376 / 4
LCM(956,5196) = 1241844
