Lets's calculate LCM of 472,952
2 | 472, 952 |
2 | 236, 476 |
2 | 118, 238 |
59, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 59 x 119 = 56168
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/56168
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5024/472,9980/952 is 4/56168
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 472,952 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,952) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,952) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(472,952) = ( 472 × 952 ) / 8
LCM(472,952) = 449344 / 8
LCM(472,952) = 56168
