So the greatest common factor 3834,4047 is 213.
Lets's calculate LCM of 512,938
2 | 512, 938 |
256, 469 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 256 x 469 = 240128
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 213/240128
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3834/512,4047/938 is 213/240128
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 512,938 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(512,938) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(512,938) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(512,938) = ( 512 × 938 ) / 2
LCM(512,938) = 480256 / 2
LCM(512,938) = 240128
