So the greatest common factor 874,224 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,818
2 | 50, 818 |
25, 409 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 25 x 409 = 20450
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/20450
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 874/50,224/818 is 2/20450
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 50,818 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,818) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(50,818) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(50,818) = ( 50 × 818 ) / 2
LCM(50,818) = 40900 / 2
LCM(50,818) = 20450
