Lets's calculate LCM of 454,8866
2 | 454, 8866 |
227, 4433 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 227 x 4433 = 2012582
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2012582
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8972/454,1562/8866 is 2/2012582
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 454,8866 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(454,8866) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(454,8866) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(454,8866) = ( 454 × 8866 ) / 2
LCM(454,8866) = 4025164 / 2
LCM(454,8866) = 2012582
