7 | 896, 9023 |
128, 1289 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 128 x 1289 = 1154944
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1154944
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7294/896,5846/9023 is 2/1154944
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 896,9023 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(896,9023) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(896,9023) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(896,9023) = ( 896 × 9023 ) / 7
LCM(896,9023) = 8084608 / 7
LCM(896,9023) = 1154944
