Lets's calculate LCM of 462,7432
2 | 462, 7432 |
231, 3716 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 231 x 3716 = 1716792
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1716792
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5838/462,8233/7432 is 1/1716792
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 462,7432 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(462,7432) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(462,7432) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(462,7432) = ( 462 × 7432 ) / 2
LCM(462,7432) = 3433584 / 2
LCM(462,7432) = 1716792
