So the greatest common factor 8560,1946 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 156,5876
2 | 156, 5876 |
2 | 78, 2938 |
13 | 39, 1469 |
3, 113 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 13 x 3 x 113 = 17628
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/17628
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8560/156,1946/5876 is 2/17628
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 156,5876 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(156,5876) = 52
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(156,5876) x common factors =52 x 1 = 52
LCM(156,5876) = ( 156 × 5876 ) / 52
LCM(156,5876) = 916656 / 52
LCM(156,5876) = 17628
