Lets's calculate LCM of 440,368
2 | 440, 368 |
2 | 220, 184 |
2 | 110, 92 |
55, 46 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 55 x 46 = 20240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/20240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5239/440,8554/368 is 13/20240
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 440,368 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(440,368) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(440,368) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(440,368) = ( 440 × 368 ) / 8
LCM(440,368) = 161920 / 8
LCM(440,368) = 20240
