2 | 438, 286 |
219, 143 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 219 x 143 = 62634
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/62634
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3982/438,7419/286 is 1/62634
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 438,286 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(438,286) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(438,286) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(438,286) = ( 438 × 286 ) / 2
LCM(438,286) = 125268 / 2
LCM(438,286) = 62634
