Lets's calculate LCM of 972,5866
2 | 972, 5866 |
486, 2933 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 486 x 2933 = 2850876
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 248/2850876
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 992/972,8680/5866 is 248/2850876
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 972,5866 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,5866) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(972,5866) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(972,5866) = ( 972 × 5866 ) / 2
LCM(972,5866) = 5701752 / 2
LCM(972,5866) = 2850876
