So the greatest common factor 5038,7238 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 872,8184
2 | 872, 8184 |
2 | 436, 4092 |
2 | 218, 2046 |
109, 1023 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 109 x 1023 = 892056
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/892056
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5038/872,7238/8184 is 22/892056
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 872,8184 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(872,8184) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(872,8184) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(872,8184) = ( 872 × 8184 ) / 8
LCM(872,8184) = 7136448 / 8
LCM(872,8184) = 892056
