Lets's calculate LCM of 812,7538
2 | 812, 7538 |
406, 3769 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 406 x 3769 = 3060428
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3060428
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5161/812,3160/7538 is 1/3060428
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 812,7538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(812,7538) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(812,7538) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(812,7538) = ( 812 × 7538 ) / 2
LCM(812,7538) = 6120856 / 2
LCM(812,7538) = 3060428
