Lets's calculate LCM of 848,414
2 | 848, 414 |
424, 207 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 424 x 207 = 175536
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/175536
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2866/848,3478/414 is 2/175536
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 848,414 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(848,414) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(848,414) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(848,414) = ( 848 × 414 ) / 2
LCM(848,414) = 351072 / 2
LCM(848,414) = 175536
