2 | 792, 5428 |
2 | 396, 2714 |
198, 1357 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 198 x 1357 = 1074744
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1074744
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3746/792,8332/5428 is 2/1074744
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 792,5428 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(792,5428) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(792,5428) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(792,5428) = ( 792 × 5428 ) / 4
LCM(792,5428) = 4298976 / 4
LCM(792,5428) = 1074744
