Lets's calculate LCM of 93,5466
3 | 93, 5466 |
31, 1822 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 31 x 1822 = 169446
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/169446
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 872/93,892/5466 is 4/169446
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 93,5466 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(93,5466) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(93,5466) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(93,5466) = ( 93 × 5466 ) / 3
LCM(93,5466) = 508338 / 3
LCM(93,5466) = 169446
