Lets's calculate LCM of 914,8738
2 | 914, 8738 |
457, 4369 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 457 x 4369 = 3993266
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/3993266
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7908/914,3252/8738 is 12/3993266
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 914,8738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(914,8738) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(914,8738) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(914,8738) = ( 914 × 8738 ) / 2
LCM(914,8738) = 7986532 / 2
LCM(914,8738) = 3993266
