Lets's calculate LCM of 96,196
2 | 96, 196 |
2 | 48, 98 |
24, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 24 x 49 = 4704
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/4704
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 948/96,3952/196 is 4/4704
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 96,196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,196) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(96,196) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(96,196) = ( 96 × 196 ) / 4
LCM(96,196) = 18816 / 4
LCM(96,196) = 4704
