Lets's calculate LCM of 946,5306
2 | 946, 5306 |
473, 2653 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 473 x 2653 = 2509738
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2509738
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6055/946,8961/5306 is 1/2509738
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 946,5306 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(946,5306) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(946,5306) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(946,5306) = ( 946 × 5306 ) / 2
LCM(946,5306) = 5019476 / 2
LCM(946,5306) = 2509738
