Lets's calculate LCM of 786,828
2 | 786, 828 |
3 | 393, 414 |
131, 138 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 131 x 138 = 108468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/108468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3904/786,2246/828 is 2/108468
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 786,828 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(786,828) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(786,828) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(786,828) = ( 786 × 828 ) / 6
LCM(786,828) = 650808 / 6
LCM(786,828) = 108468
