Lets's calculate LCM of 882,993
3 | 882, 993 |
294, 331 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 294 x 331 = 291942
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/291942
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8188/882,1838/993 is 2/291942
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 882,993 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(882,993) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(882,993) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(882,993) = ( 882 × 993 ) / 3
LCM(882,993) = 875826 / 3
LCM(882,993) = 291942
