:1,2311
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5952,2311 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5952,2311 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 948,514
2 | 948, 514 |
474, 257 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 474 x 257 = 243636
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/243636
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5952/948,2311/514 is 1/243636
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 948,514 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(948,514) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(948,514) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(948,514) = ( 948 × 514 ) / 2
LCM(948,514) = 487272 / 2
LCM(948,514) = 243636
