Lets's calculate LCM of 820,3912
2 | 820, 3912 |
2 | 410, 1956 |
205, 978 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 205 x 978 = 801960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/801960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9039/820,4242/3912 is 3/801960
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 820,3912 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(820,3912) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(820,3912) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(820,3912) = ( 820 × 3912 ) / 4
LCM(820,3912) = 3207840 / 4
LCM(820,3912) = 801960
