So the greatest common factor 5812,5530 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,898
2 | 86, 898 |
43, 449 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 449 = 38614
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/38614
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5812/86,5530/898 is 2/38614
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 86,898 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,898) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,898) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(86,898) = ( 86 × 898 ) / 2
LCM(86,898) = 77228 / 2
LCM(86,898) = 38614
