Lets's calculate LCM of 864,822
2 | 864, 822 |
3 | 432, 411 |
144, 137 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 144 x 137 = 118368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/118368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7478/864,1244/822 is 2/118368
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 864,822 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(864,822) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(864,822) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(864,822) = ( 864 × 822 ) / 6
LCM(864,822) = 710208 / 6
LCM(864,822) = 118368
