Lets's calculate LCM of 966,204
2 | 966, 204 |
3 | 483, 102 |
161, 34 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 161 x 34 = 32844
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/32844
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3971/966,9020/204 is 11/32844
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 966,204 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(966,204) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(966,204) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(966,204) = ( 966 × 204 ) / 6
LCM(966,204) = 197064 / 6
LCM(966,204) = 32844
