Lets's calculate LCM of 500,184
2 | 500, 184 |
2 | 250, 92 |
125, 46 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 125 x 46 = 23000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/23000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6042/500,4185/184 is 3/23000
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 500,184 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(500,184) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(500,184) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(500,184) = ( 500 × 184 ) / 4
LCM(500,184) = 92000 / 4
LCM(500,184) = 23000
