2 | 188, 840 |
2 | 94, 420 |
47, 210 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 47 x 210 = 39480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/39480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9662/188,7162/840 is 2/39480
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 188,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(188,840) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(188,840) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(188,840) = ( 188 × 840 ) / 4
LCM(188,840) = 157920 / 4
LCM(188,840) = 39480
