So the greatest common factor 5948,7518 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 132,898
2 | 132, 898 |
66, 449 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 66 x 449 = 59268
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/59268
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5948/132,7518/898 is 2/59268
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 132,898 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(132,898) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(132,898) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(132,898) = ( 132 × 898 ) / 2
LCM(132,898) = 118536 / 2
LCM(132,898) = 59268
