Lets's calculate LCM of 304,5704
2 | 304, 5704 |
2 | 152, 2852 |
2 | 76, 1426 |
38, 713 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 38 x 713 = 216752
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/216752
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4239/304,8226/5704 is 9/216752
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 304,5704 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(304,5704) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(304,5704) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(304,5704) = ( 304 × 5704 ) / 8
LCM(304,5704) = 1734016 / 8
LCM(304,5704) = 216752
