Lets's calculate LCM of 943,116
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 109388
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/109388
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 500/943,8126/116 is 2/109388
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 943,116 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(943,116) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(943,116) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(943,116) = ( 943 × 116 ) / 1
LCM(943,116) = 109388 / 1
LCM(943,116) = 109388
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
