2 | 286, 9462 |
143, 4731 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 143 x 4731 = 1353066
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1353066
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3182/286,5602/9462 is 2/1353066
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 286,9462 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(286,9462) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(286,9462) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(286,9462) = ( 286 × 9462 ) / 2
LCM(286,9462) = 2706132 / 2
LCM(286,9462) = 1353066
