Lets's calculate LCM of 862,2226
2 | 862, 2226 |
431, 1113 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 431 x 1113 = 959406
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/959406
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5989/862,9641/2226 is 1/959406
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 862,2226 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(862,2226) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(862,2226) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(862,2226) = ( 862 × 2226 ) / 2
LCM(862,2226) = 1918812 / 2
LCM(862,2226) = 959406
