So the greatest common factor 5346,2336 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 552,498
2 | 552, 498 |
3 | 276, 249 |
92, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 92 x 83 = 45816
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/45816
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5346/552,2336/498 is 2/45816
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 552,498 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(552,498) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(552,498) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(552,498) = ( 552 × 498 ) / 6
LCM(552,498) = 274896 / 6
LCM(552,498) = 45816
