So the greatest common factor 985,788 is 197.
Lets's calculate LCM of 93,434
31 | 93, 434 |
3, 14 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 31 x 3 x 14 = 1302
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 197/1302
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 985/93,788/434 is 197/1302
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 93,434 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(93,434) = 31
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(93,434) x common factors =31 x 1 = 31
LCM(93,434) = ( 93 × 434 ) / 31
LCM(93,434) = 40362 / 31
LCM(93,434) = 1302
