2 | 488, 4254 |
244, 2127 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 244 x 2127 = 1037976
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1037976
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3967/488,8218/4254 is 1/1037976
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 488,4254 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(488,4254) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(488,4254) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(488,4254) = ( 488 × 4254 ) / 2
LCM(488,4254) = 2075952 / 2
LCM(488,4254) = 1037976
