Lets's calculate LCM of 832,2942
2 | 832, 2942 |
416, 1471 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 416 x 1471 = 1223872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1223872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2639/832,4386/2942 is 1/1223872
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 832,2942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(832,2942) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(832,2942) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(832,2942) = ( 832 × 2942 ) / 2
LCM(832,2942) = 2447744 / 2
LCM(832,2942) = 1223872
