So the greatest common factor 4750,1068 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 832,3438
2 | 832, 3438 |
416, 1719 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 416 x 1719 = 1430208
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1430208
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4750/832,1068/3438 is 2/1430208
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 832,3438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(832,3438) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(832,3438) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(832,3438) = ( 832 × 3438 ) / 2
LCM(832,3438) = 2860416 / 2
LCM(832,3438) = 1430208
