Lets's calculate LCM of 436,4012
2 | 436, 4012 |
2 | 218, 2006 |
109, 1003 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 109 x 1003 = 437308
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/437308
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2894/436,8570/4012 is 2/437308
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 436,4012 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(436,4012) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(436,4012) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(436,4012) = ( 436 × 4012 ) / 4
LCM(436,4012) = 1749232 / 4
LCM(436,4012) = 437308
