So the greatest common factor 5116,5406 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 238,943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 224434
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/224434
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5116/238,5406/943 is 2/224434
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 238,943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(238,943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(238,943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(238,943) = ( 238 × 943 ) / 1
LCM(238,943) = 224434 / 1
LCM(238,943) = 224434
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
