So the greatest common factor 1062,4978 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,876
2 | 82, 876 |
41, 438 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 41 x 438 = 35916
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/35916
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1062/82,4978/876 is 2/35916
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 82,876 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,876) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,876) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(82,876) = ( 82 × 876 ) / 2
LCM(82,876) = 71832 / 2
LCM(82,876) = 35916
