Lets's calculate LCM of 838,3958
2 | 838, 3958 |
419, 1979 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 419 x 1979 = 1658402
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1658402
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1157/838,4783/3958 is 1/1658402
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 838,3958 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(838,3958) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(838,3958) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(838,3958) = ( 838 × 3958 ) / 2
LCM(838,3958) = 3316804 / 2
LCM(838,3958) = 1658402
