Lets's calculate LCM of 866,242
| 2 | 866, 242 |
| 433, 121 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 433 x 121 = 104786
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/104786
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4724/866,1868/242 is 4/104786
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 866,242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(866,242) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(866,242) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(866,242) = ( 866 × 242 ) / 2
LCM(866,242) = 209572 / 2
LCM(866,242) = 104786
