Lets's calculate LCM of 184,5836
2 | 184, 5836 |
2 | 92, 2918 |
46, 1459 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 46 x 1459 = 268456
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/268456
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5073/184,5040/5836 is 3/268456
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 184,5836 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(184,5836) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(184,5836) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(184,5836) = ( 184 × 5836 ) / 4
LCM(184,5836) = 1073824 / 4
LCM(184,5836) = 268456
