Lets's calculate LCM of 44,516
2 | 44, 516 |
2 | 22, 258 |
11, 129 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 11 x 129 = 5676
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/5676
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5871/44,7941/516 is 3/5676
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 44,516 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,516) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(44,516) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(44,516) = ( 44 × 516 ) / 4
LCM(44,516) = 22704 / 4
LCM(44,516) = 5676
