Lets's calculate LCM of 952,5854
2 | 952, 5854 |
476, 2927 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 476 x 2927 = 2786504
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2786504
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5462/952,2431/5854 is 1/2786504
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 952,5854 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(952,5854) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(952,5854) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(952,5854) = ( 952 × 5854 ) / 2
LCM(952,5854) = 5573008 / 2
LCM(952,5854) = 2786504
