| 2 | 282, 8474 |
| 141, 4237 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 141 x 4237 = 1194834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1194834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7978/282,2571/8474 is 1/1194834
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 282,8474 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(282,8474) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(282,8474) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(282,8474) = ( 282 × 8474 ) / 2
LCM(282,8474) = 2389668 / 2
LCM(282,8474) = 1194834
