Lets's calculate LCM of 10,858
| 2 | 10, 858 |
| 5, 429 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 429 = 4290
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4290
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8548/10,5138/858 is 2/4290
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 10,858 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(10,858) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(10,858) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(10,858) = ( 10 × 858 ) / 2
LCM(10,858) = 8580 / 2
LCM(10,858) = 4290
