Lets's calculate LCM of 214,7738
2 | 214, 7738 |
107, 3869 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 107 x 3869 = 827966
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/827966
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1994/214,5086/7738 is 2/827966
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 214,7738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(214,7738) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(214,7738) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(214,7738) = ( 214 × 7738 ) / 2
LCM(214,7738) = 1655932 / 2
LCM(214,7738) = 827966
