Lets's calculate LCM of 946,2928
2 | 946, 2928 |
473, 1464 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 473 x 1464 = 1384944
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1384944
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1976/946,1418/2928 is 2/1384944
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 946,2928 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(946,2928) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(946,2928) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(946,2928) = ( 946 × 2928 ) / 2
LCM(946,2928) = 2769888 / 2
LCM(946,2928) = 1384944
