So the greatest common factor 420,932 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 94,5318
2 | 94, 5318 |
47, 2659 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 47 x 2659 = 249946
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/249946
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 420/94,932/5318 is 4/249946
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 94,5318 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(94,5318) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(94,5318) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(94,5318) = ( 94 × 5318 ) / 2
LCM(94,5318) = 499892 / 2
LCM(94,5318) = 249946
