So the greatest common factor 4936,2884 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 872,510
2 | 872, 510 |
436, 255 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 436 x 255 = 222360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/222360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4936/872,2884/510 is 4/222360
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 872,510 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(872,510) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(872,510) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(872,510) = ( 872 × 510 ) / 2
LCM(872,510) = 444720 / 2
LCM(872,510) = 222360
