Lets's calculate LCM of 766,2982
2 | 766, 2982 |
383, 1491 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 383 x 1491 = 1142106
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 99/1142106
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2871/766,4455/2982 is 99/1142106
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 766,2982 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(766,2982) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(766,2982) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(766,2982) = ( 766 × 2982 ) / 2
LCM(766,2982) = 2284212 / 2
LCM(766,2982) = 1142106
