We found the factors 736,136 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 736,136 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 5052,8488
2 | 5052, 8488 |
2 | 2526, 4244 |
1263, 2122 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 1263 x 2122 = 10720344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/10720344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 736/5052,136/8488 is 8/10720344
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 5052,8488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(5052,8488) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(5052,8488) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(5052,8488) = ( 5052 × 8488 ) / 4
LCM(5052,8488) = 42881376 / 4
LCM(5052,8488) = 10720344
