So the greatest common factor 3828,3874 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 986,304
2 | 986, 304 |
493, 152 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 493 x 152 = 149872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/149872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3828/986,3874/304 is 2/149872
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 986,304 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(986,304) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(986,304) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(986,304) = ( 986 × 304 ) / 2
LCM(986,304) = 299744 / 2
LCM(986,304) = 149872
