Lets's calculate LCM of 436,5222
| 2 | 436, 5222 |
| 218, 2611 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 218 x 2611 = 1138396
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1138396
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5495/436,2727/5222 is 1/1138396
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 436,5222 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(436,5222) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(436,5222) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(436,5222) = ( 436 × 5222 ) / 2
LCM(436,5222) = 2276792 / 2
LCM(436,5222) = 1138396
