193, 739 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 193 x 739 = 285254
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/285254
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1157/386,4966/1478 is 13/285254
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 386,1478 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(386,1478) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(386,1478) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(386,1478) = ( 386 × 1478 ) / 2
LCM(386,1478) = 570508 / 2
LCM(386,1478) = 285254
