Lets's calculate LCM of 248,456
2 | 248, 456 |
2 | 124, 228 |
2 | 62, 114 |
31, 57 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 31 x 57 = 14136
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/14136
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5364/248,4491/456 is 9/14136
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 248,456 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(248,456) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(248,456) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(248,456) = ( 248 × 456 ) / 8
LCM(248,456) = 113088 / 8
LCM(248,456) = 14136
