Lets's calculate LCM of 372,5218
2 | 372, 5218 |
186, 2609 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 186 x 2609 = 970548
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/970548
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5880/372,4677/5218 is 3/970548
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 372,5218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,5218) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(372,5218) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(372,5218) = ( 372 × 5218 ) / 2
LCM(372,5218) = 1941096 / 2
LCM(372,5218) = 970548
