Lets's calculate LCM of 904,6252
2 | 904, 6252 |
2 | 452, 3126 |
226, 1563 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 226 x 1563 = 1412952
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 141/1412952
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4371/904,8601/6252 is 141/1412952
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 904,6252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(904,6252) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(904,6252) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(904,6252) = ( 904 × 6252 ) / 4
LCM(904,6252) = 5651808 / 4
LCM(904,6252) = 1412952
