So the greatest common factor 3862,2220 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 726,2642
2 | 726, 2642 |
363, 1321 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 363 x 1321 = 959046
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/959046
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3862/726,2220/2642 is 2/959046
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 726,2642 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(726,2642) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(726,2642) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(726,2642) = ( 726 × 2642 ) / 2
LCM(726,2642) = 1918092 / 2
LCM(726,2642) = 959046
