Lets's calculate LCM of 444,294
2 | 444, 294 |
3 | 222, 147 |
74, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 74 x 49 = 21756
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/21756
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1526/444,9356/294 is 2/21756
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 444,294 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(444,294) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(444,294) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(444,294) = ( 444 × 294 ) / 6
LCM(444,294) = 130536 / 6
LCM(444,294) = 21756
