Lets's calculate LCM of 913,286
11 | 913, 286 |
83, 26 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 83 x 26 = 23738
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/23738
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1004/913,2224/286 is 4/23738
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 913,286 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(913,286) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(913,286) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(913,286) = ( 913 × 286 ) / 11
LCM(913,286) = 261118 / 11
LCM(913,286) = 23738
