Lets's calculate LCM of 894,981
3 | 894, 981 |
298, 327 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 298 x 327 = 292338
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/292338
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6536/894,1036/981 is 4/292338
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 894,981 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(894,981) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(894,981) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(894,981) = ( 894 × 981 ) / 3
LCM(894,981) = 877014 / 3
LCM(894,981) = 292338
