Lets's calculate LCM of 958,874
2 | 958, 874 |
479, 437 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 479 x 437 = 418646
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/418646
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7203/958,8932/874 is 7/418646
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 958,874 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(958,874) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(958,874) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(958,874) = ( 958 × 874 ) / 2
LCM(958,874) = 837292 / 2
LCM(958,874) = 418646
