So the greatest common factor 526,2240 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,962
2 | 12, 962 |
6, 481 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 6 x 481 = 5772
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5772
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 526/12,2240/962 is 2/5772
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 12,962 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,962) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,962) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(12,962) = ( 12 × 962 ) / 2
LCM(12,962) = 11544 / 2
LCM(12,962) = 5772
