2 | 372, 1852 |
2 | 186, 926 |
93, 463 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 93 x 463 = 172236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/172236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4055/372,8524/1852 is 1/172236
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 372,1852 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,1852) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(372,1852) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(372,1852) = ( 372 × 1852 ) / 4
LCM(372,1852) = 688944 / 4
LCM(372,1852) = 172236
