Lets's calculate LCM of 966,1446
| 2 | 966, 1446 |
| 3 | 483, 723 |
| 161, 241 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 161 x 241 = 232806
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/232806
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4942/966,8963/1446 is 1/232806
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 966,1446 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(966,1446) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(966,1446) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(966,1446) = ( 966 × 1446 ) / 6
LCM(966,1446) = 1396836 / 6
LCM(966,1446) = 232806
