Lets's calculate LCM of 833,9590
7 | 833, 9590 |
119, 1370 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 119 x 1370 = 1141210
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1141210
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1172/833,1738/9590 is 2/1141210
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 833,9590 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(833,9590) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(833,9590) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(833,9590) = ( 833 × 9590 ) / 7
LCM(833,9590) = 7988470 / 7
LCM(833,9590) = 1141210
