So the greatest common factor 4138,1992 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 664,2636
2 | 664, 2636 |
2 | 332, 1318 |
166, 659 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 166 x 659 = 437576
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/437576
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4138/664,1992/2636 is 2/437576
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 664,2636 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(664,2636) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(664,2636) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(664,2636) = ( 664 × 2636 ) / 4
LCM(664,2636) = 1750304 / 4
LCM(664,2636) = 437576
