So the greatest common factor 4172,9728 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 188,108
2 | 188, 108 |
2 | 94, 54 |
47, 27 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 47 x 27 = 5076
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/5076
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4172/188,9728/108 is 4/5076
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 188,108 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(188,108) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(188,108) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(188,108) = ( 188 × 108 ) / 4
LCM(188,108) = 20304 / 4
LCM(188,108) = 5076
