Lets's calculate LCM of 998,7830
2 | 998, 7830 |
499, 3915 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 499 x 3915 = 3907170
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/3907170
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4272/998,1904/7830 is 16/3907170
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 998,7830 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(998,7830) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(998,7830) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(998,7830) = ( 998 × 7830 ) / 2
LCM(998,7830) = 7814340 / 2
LCM(998,7830) = 3907170
