Lets's calculate LCM of 50,438
2 | 50, 438 |
25, 219 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 25 x 219 = 10950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/10950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9668/50,7312/438 is 4/10950
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 50,438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,438) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(50,438) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(50,438) = ( 50 × 438 ) / 2
LCM(50,438) = 21900 / 2
LCM(50,438) = 10950
