Lets's calculate LCM of 918,1850
2 | 918, 1850 |
459, 925 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 459 x 925 = 849150
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/849150
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8944/918,7016/1850 is 8/849150
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 918,1850 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(918,1850) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(918,1850) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(918,1850) = ( 918 × 1850 ) / 2
LCM(918,1850) = 1698300 / 2
LCM(918,1850) = 849150
