Lets's calculate LCM of 82,284
2 | 82, 284 |
41, 142 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 41 x 142 = 11644
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11644
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8978/82,3822/284 is 2/11644
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 82,284 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,284) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,284) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(82,284) = ( 82 × 284 ) / 2
LCM(82,284) = 23288 / 2
LCM(82,284) = 11644
