Lets's calculate LCM of 428,9292
2 | 428, 9292 |
2 | 214, 4646 |
107, 2323 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 107 x 2323 = 994244
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/994244
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/428,3703/9292 is 1/994244
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 428,9292 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(428,9292) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(428,9292) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(428,9292) = ( 428 × 9292 ) / 4
LCM(428,9292) = 3976976 / 4
LCM(428,9292) = 994244
