Lets's calculate LCM of 106,514
2 | 106, 514 |
53, 257 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 53 x 257 = 27242
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/27242
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7240/106,4168/514 is 8/27242
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 106,514 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(106,514) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(106,514) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(106,514) = ( 106 × 514 ) / 2
LCM(106,514) = 54484 / 2
LCM(106,514) = 27242
