Lets's calculate LCM of 496,5196
2 | 496, 5196 |
2 | 248, 2598 |
124, 1299 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 124 x 1299 = 644304
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/644304
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4386/496,7246/5196 is 2/644304
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 496,5196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(496,5196) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(496,5196) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(496,5196) = ( 496 × 5196 ) / 4
LCM(496,5196) = 2577216 / 4
LCM(496,5196) = 644304
