Lets's calculate LCM of 406,4126
2 | 406, 4126 |
203, 2063 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 203 x 2063 = 837578
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/837578
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3958/406,8202/4126 is 2/837578
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 406,4126 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(406,4126) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(406,4126) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(406,4126) = ( 406 × 4126 ) / 2
LCM(406,4126) = 1675156 / 2
LCM(406,4126) = 837578
