Lets's calculate LCM of 400,9686
2 | 400, 9686 |
200, 4843 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 200 x 4843 = 1937200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1937200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4272/400,9518/9686 is 2/1937200
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 400,9686 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(400,9686) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(400,9686) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(400,9686) = ( 400 × 9686 ) / 2
LCM(400,9686) = 3874400 / 2
LCM(400,9686) = 1937200
