We found the factors 7210,4972 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7210,4972 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 246,8902
2 | 246, 8902 |
123, 4451 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 123 x 4451 = 1094946
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1094946
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7210/246,4972/8902 is 2/1094946
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 246,8902 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(246,8902) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(246,8902) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(246,8902) = ( 246 × 8902 ) / 2
LCM(246,8902) = 2189892 / 2
LCM(246,8902) = 1094946
