Lets's calculate LCM of 664,938
2 | 664, 938 |
332, 469 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 332 x 469 = 311416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/311416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4837/664,5931/938 is 1/311416
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 664,938 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(664,938) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(664,938) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(664,938) = ( 664 × 938 ) / 2
LCM(664,938) = 622832 / 2
LCM(664,938) = 311416
