Lets's calculate LCM of 957,3982
11 | 957, 3982 |
87, 362 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 87 x 362 = 346434
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/346434
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5178/957,4322/3982 is 2/346434
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 957,3982 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(957,3982) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(957,3982) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(957,3982) = ( 957 × 3982 ) / 11
LCM(957,3982) = 3810774 / 11
LCM(957,3982) = 346434
