Lets's calculate LCM of 189,474
3 | 189, 474 |
63, 158 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 63 x 158 = 29862
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/29862
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5788/189,8458/474 is 2/29862
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 189,474 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(189,474) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(189,474) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(189,474) = ( 189 × 474 ) / 3
LCM(189,474) = 89586 / 3
LCM(189,474) = 29862
