Lets's calculate LCM of 220,5055
5 | 220, 5055 |
44, 1011 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 44 x 1011 = 222420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/222420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8688/220,1936/5055 is 16/222420
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 220,5055 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(220,5055) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(220,5055) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(220,5055) = ( 220 × 5055 ) / 5
LCM(220,5055) = 1112100 / 5
LCM(220,5055) = 222420
