Lets's calculate LCM of 534,962
2 | 534, 962 |
267, 481 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 267 x 481 = 256854
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/256854
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 783/534,2850/962 is 3/256854
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 534,962 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(534,962) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(534,962) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(534,962) = ( 534 × 962 ) / 2
LCM(534,962) = 513708 / 2
LCM(534,962) = 256854
