2 | 394, 5152 |
197, 2576 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 197 x 2576 = 1014944
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1014944
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4197/394,5895/5152 is 3/1014944
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 394,5152 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(394,5152) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(394,5152) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(394,5152) = ( 394 × 5152 ) / 2
LCM(394,5152) = 2029888 / 2
LCM(394,5152) = 1014944
