Lets's calculate LCM of 468,8906
2 | 468, 8906 |
234, 4453 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 234 x 4453 = 2084004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2084004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 901/468,3589/8906 is 1/2084004
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 468,8906 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(468,8906) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(468,8906) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(468,8906) = ( 468 × 8906 ) / 2
LCM(468,8906) = 4168008 / 2
LCM(468,8906) = 2084004
