2 | 638, 4630 |
319, 2315 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 319 x 2315 = 1476970
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1476970
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5258/638,3101/4630 is 1/1476970
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 638,4630 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(638,4630) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(638,4630) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(638,4630) = ( 638 × 4630 ) / 2
LCM(638,4630) = 2953940 / 2
LCM(638,4630) = 1476970
