2 | 862, 9644 |
431, 4822 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 431 x 4822 = 4156564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4156564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4742/862,2082/9644 is 2/4156564
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 862,9644 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(862,9644) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(862,9644) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(862,9644) = ( 862 × 9644 ) / 2
LCM(862,9644) = 8313128 / 2
LCM(862,9644) = 4156564
