So the greatest common factor 1989,5562 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 952,860
2 | 952, 860 |
2 | 476, 430 |
238, 215 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 238 x 215 = 204680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/204680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1989/952,5562/860 is 9/204680
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 952,860 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(952,860) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(952,860) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(952,860) = ( 952 × 860 ) / 4
LCM(952,860) = 818720 / 4
LCM(952,860) = 204680
