Lets's calculate LCM of 48,852
2 | 48, 852 |
2 | 24, 426 |
3 | 12, 213 |
4, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 71 = 3408
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/3408
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 896/48,4270/852 is 14/3408
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 48,852 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,852) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,852) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(48,852) = ( 48 × 852 ) / 12
LCM(48,852) = 40896 / 12
LCM(48,852) = 3408
