Lets's calculate LCM of 832,2282
2 | 832, 2282 |
416, 1141 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 416 x 1141 = 949312
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/949312
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3728/832,6848/2282 is 16/949312
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 832,2282 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(832,2282) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(832,2282) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(832,2282) = ( 832 × 2282 ) / 2
LCM(832,2282) = 1898624 / 2
LCM(832,2282) = 949312
