2 | 962, 7108 |
481, 3554 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 481 x 3554 = 3418948
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3418948
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5872/962,3999/7108 is 1/3418948
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 962,7108 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(962,7108) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(962,7108) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(962,7108) = ( 962 × 7108 ) / 2
LCM(962,7108) = 6837896 / 2
LCM(962,7108) = 3418948
