Lets's calculate LCM of 442,9386
2 | 442, 9386 |
13 | 221, 4693 |
17, 361 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 17 x 361 = 159562
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/159562
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2901/442,4015/9386 is 1/159562
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 442,9386 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(442,9386) = 26
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(442,9386) x common factors =26 x 1 = 26
LCM(442,9386) = ( 442 × 9386 ) / 26
LCM(442,9386) = 4148612 / 26
LCM(442,9386) = 159562
