Lets's calculate LCM of 980,8468
2 | 980, 8468 |
2 | 490, 4234 |
245, 2117 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 245 x 2117 = 2074660
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2074660
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4968/980,2932/8468 is 4/2074660
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 980,8468 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(980,8468) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(980,8468) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(980,8468) = ( 980 × 8468 ) / 4
LCM(980,8468) = 8298640 / 4
LCM(980,8468) = 2074660
