Lets's calculate LCM of 976,9256
2 | 976, 9256 |
2 | 488, 4628 |
2 | 244, 2314 |
122, 1157 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 122 x 1157 = 1129232
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1129232
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1338/976,8914/9256 is 2/1129232
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 976,9256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(976,9256) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(976,9256) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(976,9256) = ( 976 × 9256 ) / 8
LCM(976,9256) = 9033856 / 8
LCM(976,9256) = 1129232
