2 | 556, 4848 |
2 | 278, 2424 |
139, 1212 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 139 x 1212 = 673872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/673872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3790/556,7492/4848 is 2/673872
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 556,4848 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(556,4848) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(556,4848) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(556,4848) = ( 556 × 4848 ) / 4
LCM(556,4848) = 2695488 / 4
LCM(556,4848) = 673872
