Lets's calculate LCM of 978,5866
2 | 978, 5866 |
489, 2933 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 489 x 2933 = 2868474
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2868474
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 385/978,3881/5866 is 1/2868474
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 978,5866 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(978,5866) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(978,5866) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(978,5866) = ( 978 × 5866 ) / 2
LCM(978,5866) = 5736948 / 2
LCM(978,5866) = 2868474
