Lets's calculate LCM of 104,7284
2 | 104, 7284 |
2 | 52, 3642 |
26, 1821 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 26 x 1821 = 189384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/189384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5117/104,9968/7284 is 7/189384
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 104,7284 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(104,7284) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(104,7284) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(104,7284) = ( 104 × 7284 ) / 4
LCM(104,7284) = 757536 / 4
LCM(104,7284) = 189384
