Lets's calculate LCM of 964,836
2 | 964, 836 |
2 | 482, 418 |
241, 209 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 241 x 209 = 201476
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/201476
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 860/964,259/836 is 1/201476
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 964,836 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(964,836) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(964,836) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(964,836) = ( 964 × 836 ) / 4
LCM(964,836) = 805904 / 4
LCM(964,836) = 201476
