Lets's calculate LCM of 908,112
2 | 908, 112 |
2 | 454, 56 |
227, 28 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 227 x 28 = 25424
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/25424
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 939/908,3786/112 is 3/25424
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 908,112 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(908,112) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(908,112) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(908,112) = ( 908 × 112 ) / 4
LCM(908,112) = 101696 / 4
LCM(908,112) = 25424
