Lets's calculate LCM of 874,1188
2 | 874, 1188 |
437, 594 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 437 x 594 = 519156
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/519156
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5915/874,6281/1188 is 1/519156
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 874,1188 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(874,1188) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(874,1188) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(874,1188) = ( 874 × 1188 ) / 2
LCM(874,1188) = 1038312 / 2
LCM(874,1188) = 519156
