Lets's calculate LCM of 6112,7424
2 | 6112, 7424 |
2 | 3056, 3712 |
2 | 1528, 1856 |
2 | 764, 928 |
2 | 382, 464 |
191, 232 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 191 x 232 = 1417984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1417984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 287/6112,891/7424 is 1/1417984
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 6112,7424 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(6112,7424) = 32
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(6112,7424) x common factors =32 x 1 = 32
LCM(6112,7424) = ( 6112 × 7424 ) / 32
LCM(6112,7424) = 45375488 / 32
LCM(6112,7424) = 1417984
