Lets's calculate LCM of 958,838
2 | 958, 838 |
479, 419 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 479 x 419 = 401402
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/401402
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1108/958,1737/838 is 1/401402
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 958,838 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(958,838) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(958,838) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(958,838) = ( 958 × 838 ) / 2
LCM(958,838) = 802804 / 2
LCM(958,838) = 401402
