Lets's calculate LCM of 242,8648
2 | 242, 8648 |
121, 4324 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 121 x 4324 = 1046408
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 48/1046408
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8880/242,5424/8648 is 48/1046408
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 242,8648 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(242,8648) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(242,8648) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(242,8648) = ( 242 × 8648 ) / 2
