Lets's calculate LCM of 938,1664
2 | 938, 1664 |
469, 832 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 469 x 832 = 780416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/780416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3663/938,7421/1664 is 1/780416
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 938,1664 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(938,1664) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(938,1664) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(938,1664) = ( 938 × 1664 ) / 2
LCM(938,1664) = 1560832 / 2
LCM(938,1664) = 780416
