Lets's calculate LCM of 812,3438
2 | 812, 3438 |
406, 1719 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 406 x 1719 = 1395828
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1395828
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1438/812,1043/3438 is 1/1395828
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 812,3438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(812,3438) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(812,3438) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(812,3438) = ( 812 × 3438 ) / 2
LCM(812,3438) = 2791656 / 2
LCM(812,3438) = 1395828
