Lets's calculate LCM of 812,516
2 | 812, 516 |
2 | 406, 258 |
203, 129 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 203 x 129 = 104748
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/104748
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3997/812,9874/516 is 1/104748
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 812,516 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(812,516) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(812,516) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(812,516) = ( 812 × 516 ) / 4
LCM(812,516) = 418992 / 4
LCM(812,516) = 104748
