Lets's calculate LCM of 652,5552
2 | 652, 5552 |
2 | 326, 2776 |
163, 1388 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 163 x 1388 = 904976
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/904976
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8706/652,9978/5552 is 6/904976
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 652,5552 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(652,5552) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(652,5552) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(652,5552) = ( 652 × 5552 ) / 4
LCM(652,5552) = 3619904 / 4
LCM(652,5552) = 904976
