Lets's calculate LCM of 512,228
2 | 512, 228 |
2 | 256, 114 |
128, 57 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 128 x 57 = 29184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9977/512,1198/228 is 1/29184
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 512,228 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(512,228) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(512,228) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(512,228) = ( 512 × 228 ) / 4
LCM(512,228) = 116736 / 4
LCM(512,228) = 29184
