Lets's calculate LCM of 772,9596
2 | 772, 9596 |
2 | 386, 4798 |
193, 2399 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 193 x 2399 = 1852028
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1852028
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2974/772,6869/9596 is 1/1852028
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 772,9596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(772,9596) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(772,9596) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(772,9596) = ( 772 × 9596 ) / 4
LCM(772,9596) = 7408112 / 4
LCM(772,9596) = 1852028
