Lets's calculate LCM of 358,2654
2 | 358, 2654 |
179, 1327 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 179 x 1327 = 475066
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/475066
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1536/358,7676/2654 is 4/475066
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 358,2654 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(358,2654) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(358,2654) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(358,2654) = ( 358 × 2654 ) / 2
LCM(358,2654) = 950132 / 2
LCM(358,2654) = 475066
