Lets's calculate LCM of 956,7696
2 | 956, 7696 |
2 | 478, 3848 |
239, 1924 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 239 x 1924 = 1839344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1839344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3882/956,2950/7696 is 2/1839344
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 956,7696 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(956,7696) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(956,7696) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(956,7696) = ( 956 × 7696 ) / 4
LCM(956,7696) = 7357376 / 4
LCM(956,7696) = 1839344
