Lets's calculate LCM of 100,8958
2 | 100, 8958 |
50, 4479 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 50 x 4479 = 447900
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/447900
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5174/100,1774/8958 is 2/447900
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 100,8958 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(100,8958) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(100,8958) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(100,8958) = ( 100 × 8958 ) / 2
LCM(100,8958) = 895800 / 2
LCM(100,8958) = 447900
