We found the factors 12,2956 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 12,2956 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 806,9269
13 | 806, 9269 |
31 | 62, 713 |
2, 23 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 31 x 2 x 23 = 18538
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/18538
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 12/806,2956/9269 is 4/18538
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 806,9269 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(806,9269) = 403
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(806,9269) x common factors =403 x 1 = 403
LCM(806,9269) = ( 806 × 9269 ) / 403
LCM(806,9269) = 7470814 / 403
LCM(806,9269) = 18538
