So the greatest common factor 5334,4509 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 492,1824
2 | 492, 1824 |
2 | 246, 912 |
3 | 123, 456 |
41, 152 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 41 x 152 = 74784
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/74784
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5334/492,4509/1824 is 3/74784
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 492,1824 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(492,1824) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(492,1824) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(492,1824) = ( 492 × 1824 ) / 12
LCM(492,1824) = 897408 / 12
LCM(492,1824) = 74784
