So the greatest common factor 592,1218 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 428,1914
2 | 428, 1914 |
214, 957 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 214 x 957 = 409596
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/409596
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 592/428,1218/1914 is 2/409596
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 428,1914 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(428,1914) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(428,1914) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(428,1914) = ( 428 × 1914 ) / 2
LCM(428,1914) = 819192 / 2
LCM(428,1914) = 409596
