2 | 518, 8118 |
259, 4059 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 259 x 4059 = 2102562
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2102562
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8491/518,7241/8118 is 1/2102562
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 518,8118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(518,8118) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(518,8118) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(518,8118) = ( 518 × 8118 ) / 2
LCM(518,8118) = 4205124 / 2
LCM(518,8118) = 2102562
