Lets's calculate LCM of 794,554
2 | 794, 554 |
397, 277 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 397 x 277 = 219938
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/219938
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 968/794,2126/554 is 2/219938
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 794,554 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(794,554) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(794,554) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(794,554) = ( 794 × 554 ) / 2
LCM(794,554) = 439876 / 2
LCM(794,554) = 219938
