2 | 988, 9134 |
494, 4567 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 494 x 4567 = 4512196
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4512196
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3721/988,2768/9134 is 1/4512196
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 988,9134 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(988,9134) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(988,9134) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(988,9134) = ( 988 × 9134 ) / 2
LCM(988,9134) = 9024392 / 2
LCM(988,9134) = 4512196
