So the greatest common factor 5904,7263 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,218
2 | 12, 218 |
6, 109 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 6 x 109 = 1308
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/1308
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5904/12,7263/218 is 9/1308
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 12,218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,218) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,218) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(12,218) = ( 12 × 218 ) / 2
LCM(12,218) = 2616 / 2
LCM(12,218) = 1308
