Lets's calculate LCM of 224,5922
2 | 224, 5922 |
7 | 112, 2961 |
16, 423 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 16 x 423 = 94752
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/94752
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4248/224,2889/5922 is 9/94752
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 224,5922 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,5922) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,5922) x common factors =14 x 1 = 14
LCM(224,5922) = ( 224 × 5922 ) / 14
LCM(224,5922) = 1326528 / 14
LCM(224,5922) = 94752
