Lets's calculate LCM of 20,738
2 | 20, 738 |
10, 369 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 10 x 369 = 7380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9162/20,9442/738 is 2/7380
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 20,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,738) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,738) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(20,738) = ( 20 × 738 ) / 2
LCM(20,738) = 14760 / 2
LCM(20,738) = 7380
