Lets's calculate LCM of 148,3978
2 | 148, 3978 |
74, 1989 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 74 x 1989 = 294372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/294372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1841/148,5590/3978 is 1/294372
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 148,3978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(148,3978) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(148,3978) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(148,3978) = ( 148 × 3978 ) / 2
LCM(148,3978) = 588744 / 2
LCM(148,3978) = 294372
