Lets's calculate LCM of 114,8984
2 | 114, 8984 |
57, 4492 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 57 x 4492 = 512088
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/512088
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5172/114,6548/8984 is 4/512088
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 114,8984 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(114,8984) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(114,8984) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(114,8984) = ( 114 × 8984 ) / 2
LCM(114,8984) = 1024176 / 2
LCM(114,8984) = 512088
