257, 3446 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 257 x 3446 = 1771244
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1771244
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3994/514,3982/6892 is 2/1771244
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 514,6892 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(514,6892) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(514,6892) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(514,6892) = ( 514 × 6892 ) / 2
LCM(514,6892) = 3542488 / 2
LCM(514,6892) = 1771244
