Lets's calculate LCM of 296,8642
2 | 296, 8642 |
148, 4321 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 148 x 4321 = 1279016
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1442/1279016
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2884/296,4326/8642 is 1442/1279016
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 296,8642 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(296,8642) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(296,8642) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(296,8642) = ( 296 × 8642 ) / 2
LCM(296,8642) = 2558032 / 2
LCM(296,8642) = 1279016
