Lets's calculate LCM of 24,138
2 | 24, 138 |
3 | 12, 69 |
4, 23 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 4 x 23 = 552
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/552
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5118/24,2212/138 is 2/552
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 24,138 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,138) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,138) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(24,138) = ( 24 × 138 ) / 6
LCM(24,138) = 3312 / 6
LCM(24,138) = 552
