Lets's calculate LCM of 874,4068
2 | 874, 4068 |
437, 2034 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 437 x 2034 = 1777716
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/1777716
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5885/874,8530/4068 is 5/1777716
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 874,4068 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(874,4068) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(874,4068) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(874,4068) = ( 874 × 4068 ) / 2
LCM(874,4068) = 3555432 / 2
LCM(874,4068) = 1777716
