So the greatest common factor 5464,2296 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 872,5074
2 | 872, 5074 |
436, 2537 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 436 x 2537 = 2212264
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/2212264
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5464/872,2296/5074 is 8/2212264
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 872,5074 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(872,5074) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(872,5074) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(872,5074) = ( 872 × 5074 ) / 2
LCM(872,5074) = 4424528 / 2
LCM(872,5074) = 2212264
