Lets's calculate LCM of 734,9380
2 | 734, 9380 |
367, 4690 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 367 x 4690 = 3442460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3442460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3873/734,8612/9380 is 1/3442460
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 734,9380 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(734,9380) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(734,9380) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(734,9380) = ( 734 × 9380 ) / 2
LCM(734,9380) = 6884920 / 2
LCM(734,9380) = 3442460
