Lets's calculate LCM of 188,5714
2 | 188, 5714 |
94, 2857 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 94 x 2857 = 537116
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/537116
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1802/188,8936/5714 is 2/537116
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 188,5714 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(188,5714) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(188,5714) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(188,5714) = ( 188 × 5714 ) / 2
LCM(188,5714) = 1074232 / 2
LCM(188,5714) = 537116
