Lets's calculate LCM of 38,248
2 | 38, 248 |
19, 124 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 19 x 124 = 4712
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/4712
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9357/38,5955/248 is 3/4712
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 38,248 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,248) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(38,248) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(38,248) = ( 38 × 248 ) / 2
LCM(38,248) = 9424 / 2
LCM(38,248) = 4712
