Lets's calculate LCM of 304,5122
2 | 304, 5122 |
152, 2561 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 152 x 2561 = 778544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 56/778544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2072/304,8848/5122 is 56/778544
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 304,5122 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(304,5122) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(304,5122) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(304,5122) = ( 304 × 5122 ) / 2
LCM(304,5122) = 1557088 / 2
LCM(304,5122) = 778544
