So the greatest common factor 940,312 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,8294
11 | 99, 8294 |
9, 754 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 9 x 754 = 74646
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/74646
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 940/99,312/8294 is 4/74646
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 99,8294 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,8294) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,8294) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(99,8294) = ( 99 × 8294 ) / 11
LCM(99,8294) = 821106 / 11
LCM(99,8294) = 74646
