So the greatest common factor 838,9148 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 844,146
2 | 844, 146 |
422, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 422 x 73 = 61612
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/61612
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 838/844,9148/146 is 2/61612
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 844,146 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(844,146) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(844,146) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(844,146) = ( 844 × 146 ) / 2
LCM(844,146) = 123224 / 2
LCM(844,146) = 61612
