We found the factors 5428,8034 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5428,8034 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 272,8942
2 | 272, 8942 |
17 | 136, 4471 |
8, 263 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 8 x 263 = 71536
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/71536
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5428/272,8034/8942 is 2/71536
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 272,8942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,8942) = 34
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(272,8942) x common factors =34 x 1 = 34
LCM(272,8942) = ( 272 × 8942 ) / 34
LCM(272,8942) = 2432224 / 34
LCM(272,8942) = 71536
