Lets's calculate LCM of 828,2661
3 | 828, 2661 |
276, 887 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 276 x 887 = 734436
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/734436
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1982/828,8240/2661 is 2/734436
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 828,2661 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(828,2661) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(828,2661) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(828,2661) = ( 828 × 2661 ) / 3
LCM(828,2661) = 2203308 / 3
LCM(828,2661) = 734436
