Lets's calculate LCM of 40,952
2 | 40, 952 |
2 | 20, 476 |
2 | 10, 238 |
5, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 119 = 4760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 563/40,156/952 is 1/4760
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 40,952 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,952) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,952) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(40,952) = ( 40 × 952 ) / 8
LCM(40,952) = 38080 / 8
LCM(40,952) = 4760
