Lets's calculate LCM of 836,8966
2 | 836, 8966 |
418, 4483 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 418 x 4483 = 3747788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3747788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8462/836,9566/8966 is 2/3747788
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 836,8966 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(836,8966) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(836,8966) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(836,8966) = ( 836 × 8966 ) / 2
LCM(836,8966) = 7495576 / 2
LCM(836,8966) = 3747788
