2 | 964, 9872 |
2 | 482, 4936 |
241, 2468 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 241 x 2468 = 2379152
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2379152
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1189/964,6142/9872 is 1/2379152
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 964,9872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(964,9872) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(964,9872) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(964,9872) = ( 964 × 9872 ) / 4
LCM(964,9872) = 9516608 / 4
LCM(964,9872) = 2379152
