Lets's calculate LCM of 212,428
2 | 212, 428 |
2 | 106, 214 |
53, 107 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 53 x 107 = 22684
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/22684
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5788/212,1982/428 is 2/22684
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 212,428 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(212,428) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(212,428) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(212,428) = ( 212 × 428 ) / 4
LCM(212,428) = 90736 / 4
LCM(212,428) = 22684
