Lets's calculate LCM of 962,282
2 | 962, 282 |
481, 141 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 481 x 141 = 135642
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/135642
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 837/962,734/282 is 1/135642
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 962,282 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(962,282) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(962,282) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(962,282) = ( 962 × 282 ) / 2
LCM(962,282) = 271284 / 2
LCM(962,282) = 135642
