Lets's calculate LCM of 858,818
2 | 858, 818 |
429, 409 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 429 x 409 = 350922
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/350922
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4538/858,2248/818 is 2/350922
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 858,818 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(858,818) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(858,818) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(858,818) = ( 858 × 818 ) / 2
LCM(858,818) = 701844 / 2
LCM(858,818) = 350922
