Lets's calculate LCM of 916,9612
2 | 916, 9612 |
2 | 458, 4806 |
229, 2403 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 229 x 2403 = 2201148
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/2201148
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 768/916,8440/9612 is 8/2201148
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 916,9612 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(916,9612) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(916,9612) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(916,9612) = ( 916 × 9612 ) / 4
LCM(916,9612) = 8804592 / 4
LCM(916,9612) = 2201148
