Lets's calculate LCM of 82,426
2 | 82, 426 |
41, 213 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 41 x 213 = 17466
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/17466
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1218/82,5894/426 is 14/17466
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 82,426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,426) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,426) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(82,426) = ( 82 × 426 ) / 2
LCM(82,426) = 34932 / 2
LCM(82,426) = 17466
