Lets's calculate LCM of 24,968
| 2 | 24, 968 |
| 2 | 12, 484 |
| 2 | 6, 242 |
| 3, 121 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 121 = 2904
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/2904
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8208/24,7878/968 is 6/2904
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 24,968 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,968) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,968) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(24,968) = ( 24 × 968 ) / 8
LCM(24,968) = 23232 / 8
LCM(24,968) = 2904
