2 | 760, 5238 |
380, 2619 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 380 x 2619 = 1990440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1990440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5744/760,3989/5238 is 1/1990440
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 760,5238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(760,5238) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(760,5238) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(760,5238) = ( 760 × 5238 ) / 2
LCM(760,5238) = 3980880 / 2
LCM(760,5238) = 1990440
