Lets's calculate LCM of 938,538
2 | 938, 538 |
469, 269 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 469 x 269 = 252322
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/252322
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6987/938,3818/538 is 1/252322
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 938,538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(938,538) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(938,538) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(938,538) = ( 938 × 538 ) / 2
LCM(938,538) = 504644 / 2
LCM(938,538) = 252322
