So the greatest common factor 5222,2120 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 452,642
2 | 452, 642 |
226, 321 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 226 x 321 = 145092
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/145092
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5222/452,2120/642 is 2/145092
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 452,642 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(452,642) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(452,642) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(452,642) = ( 452 × 642 ) / 2
LCM(452,642) = 290184 / 2
LCM(452,642) = 145092
