So the greatest common factor 331,2964 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 802,1896
2 | 802, 1896 |
401, 948 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 401 x 948 = 760296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/760296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 331/802,2964/1896 is 1/760296
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 802,1896 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(802,1896) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(802,1896) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(802,1896) = ( 802 × 1896 ) / 2
LCM(802,1896) = 1520592 / 2
LCM(802,1896) = 760296
