Lets's calculate LCM of 396,2893
11 | 396, 2893 |
36, 263 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 36 x 263 = 104148
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/104148
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5442/396,9560/2893 is 2/104148
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 396,2893 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(396,2893) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(396,2893) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(396,2893) = ( 396 × 2893 ) / 11
LCM(396,2893) = 1145628 / 11
LCM(396,2893) = 104148
