We found the factors 436,1917 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 436,1917 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,5224
2 | 472, 5224 |
2 | 236, 2612 |
2 | 118, 1306 |
59, 653 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 59 x 653 = 308216
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/308216
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 436/472,1917/5224 is 1/308216
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 472,5224 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,5224) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,5224) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(472,5224) = ( 472 × 5224 ) / 8
LCM(472,5224) = 2465728 / 8
LCM(472,5224) = 308216
