Lets's calculate LCM of 984,5836
2 | 984, 5836 |
2 | 492, 2918 |
246, 1459 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 246 x 1459 = 1435656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 44/1435656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1012/984,5588/5836 is 44/1435656
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 984,5836 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(984,5836) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(984,5836) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(984,5836) = ( 984 × 5836 ) / 4
LCM(984,5836) = 5742624 / 4
LCM(984,5836) = 1435656
