Lets's calculate LCM of 967,416
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 402272
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/402272
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3834/967,2938/416 is 2/402272
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 967,416 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(967,416) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(967,416) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(967,416) = ( 967 × 416 ) / 1
LCM(967,416) = 402272 / 1
LCM(967,416) = 402272
