2 | 928, 8812 |
2 | 464, 4406 |
232, 2203 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 232 x 2203 = 2044384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/2044384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2975/928,9724/8812 is 17/2044384
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 928,8812 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(928,8812) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(928,8812) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(928,8812) = ( 928 × 8812 ) / 4
LCM(928,8812) = 8177536 / 4
LCM(928,8812) = 2044384
