Lets's calculate LCM of 132,488
2 | 132, 488 |
2 | 66, 244 |
33, 122 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 33 x 122 = 16104
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/16104
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7238/132,9282/488 is 14/16104
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 132,488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(132,488) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(132,488) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(132,488) = ( 132 × 488 ) / 4
LCM(132,488) = 64416 / 4
LCM(132,488) = 16104
