Lets's calculate LCM of 952,9306
2 | 952, 9306 |
476, 4653 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 476 x 4653 = 4429656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/4429656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1988/952,7200/9306 is 4/4429656
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 952,9306 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(952,9306) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(952,9306) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(952,9306) = ( 952 × 9306 ) / 2
LCM(952,9306) = 8859312 / 2
LCM(952,9306) = 4429656
