So the greatest common factor 730,842 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 892,446
2 | 892, 446 |
223 | 446, 223 |
2, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 223 x 2 x 1 = 892
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/892
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 730/892,842/446 is 2/892
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 892,446 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(892,446) = 446
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(892,446) x common factors =446 x 1 = 446
LCM(892,446) = ( 892 × 446 ) / 446
LCM(892,446) = 397832 / 446
LCM(892,446) = 892
