2 | 854, 5842 |
427, 2921 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 427 x 2921 = 2494534
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2494534
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5311/854,1281/5842 is 1/2494534
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 854,5842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(854,5842) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(854,5842) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(854,5842) = ( 854 × 5842 ) / 2
LCM(854,5842) = 4989068 / 2
LCM(854,5842) = 2494534
