Lets's calculate LCM of 474,8534
2 | 474, 8534 |
237, 4267 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 237 x 4267 = 2022558
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2022558
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1961/474,3983/8534 is 1/2022558
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 474,8534 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(474,8534) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(474,8534) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(474,8534) = ( 474 × 8534 ) / 2
LCM(474,8534) = 4045116 / 2
LCM(474,8534) = 2022558
