Lets's calculate LCM of 940,112
2 | 940, 112 |
2 | 470, 56 |
235, 28 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 235 x 28 = 26320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 497/940,169/112 is 1/26320
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 940,112 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(940,112) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(940,112) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(940,112) = ( 940 × 112 ) / 4
LCM(940,112) = 105280 / 4
LCM(940,112) = 26320
