Lets's calculate LCM of 968,892
2 | 968, 892 |
2 | 484, 446 |
242, 223 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 242 x 223 = 215864
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/215864
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8381/968,3708/892 is 1/215864
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 968,892 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(968,892) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(968,892) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(968,892) = ( 968 × 892 ) / 4
LCM(968,892) = 863456 / 4
LCM(968,892) = 215864
