Lets's calculate LCM of 972,8178
2 | 972, 8178 |
3 | 486, 4089 |
162, 1363 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 162 x 1363 = 1324836
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/1324836
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3933/972,8316/8178 is 9/1324836
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 972,8178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,8178) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(972,8178) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(972,8178) = ( 972 × 8178 ) / 6
LCM(972,8178) = 7949016 / 6
LCM(972,8178) = 1324836
