So the greatest common factor 5217,2152 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 972,9384
2 | 972, 9384 |
2 | 486, 4692 |
3 | 243, 2346 |
81, 782 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 81 x 782 = 760104
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/760104
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5217/972,2152/9384 is 1/760104
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 972,9384 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,9384) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(972,9384) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(972,9384) = ( 972 × 9384 ) / 12
LCM(972,9384) = 9121248 / 12
LCM(972,9384) = 760104
