Now, list down the factors of 9976
:1,2,4,8,29,43,58,86,116,172,232,344,1247,2494,4988,9976
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4606,9976 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4606,9976 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 902,8402
2 | 902, 8402 |
451, 4201 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 451 x 4201 = 3789302
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3789302
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4606/902,9976/8402 is 2/3789302
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 902,8402 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(902,8402) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(902,8402) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(902,8402) = ( 902 × 8402 ) / 2
LCM(902,8402) = 7578604 / 2
LCM(902,8402) = 3789302
