Lets's calculate LCM of 904,414
2 | 904, 414 |
452, 207 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 452 x 207 = 187128
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/187128
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1472/904,1679/414 is 23/187128
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 904,414 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(904,414) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(904,414) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(904,414) = ( 904 × 414 ) / 2
LCM(904,414) = 374256 / 2
LCM(904,414) = 187128
