Lets's calculate LCM of 196,7130
2 | 196, 7130 |
98, 3565 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 98 x 3565 = 698740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 244/698740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3904/196,5612/7130 is 244/698740
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 196,7130 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(196,7130) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(196,7130) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(196,7130) = ( 196 × 7130 ) / 2
LCM(196,7130) = 1397480 / 2
LCM(196,7130) = 698740
