Lets's calculate LCM of 892,942
2 | 892, 942 |
446, 471 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 446 x 471 = 420132
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/420132
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 866/892,4512/942 is 2/420132
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 892,942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(892,942) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(892,942) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(892,942) = ( 892 × 942 ) / 2
LCM(892,942) = 840264 / 2
LCM(892,942) = 420132
