Lets's calculate LCM of 218,4220
2 | 218, 4220 |
109, 2110 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 109 x 2110 = 459980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/459980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5220/218,9572/4220 is 4/459980
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 218,4220 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(218,4220) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(218,4220) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(218,4220) = ( 218 × 4220 ) / 2
LCM(218,4220) = 919960 / 2
LCM(218,4220) = 459980
