Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/370944
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1142/828,9598/1792 is 2/370944
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 828,1792 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(828,1792) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(828,1792) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(828,1792) = ( 828 × 1792 ) / 4
LCM(828,1792) = 1483776 / 4
LCM(828,1792) = 370944
