Lets's calculate LCM of 940,4100
2 | 940, 4100 |
2 | 470, 2050 |
5 | 235, 1025 |
47, 205 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 47 x 205 = 192700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/192700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9964/940,4338/4100 is 2/192700
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 940,4100 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(940,4100) = 20
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(940,4100) x common factors =20 x 1 = 20
LCM(940,4100) = ( 940 × 4100 ) / 20
LCM(940,4100) = 3854000 / 20
LCM(940,4100) = 192700
