Lets's calculate LCM of 604,9246
2 | 604, 9246 |
302, 4623 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 302 x 4623 = 2792292
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/2792292
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/604,2160/9246 is 16/2792292
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 604,9246 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(604,9246) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(604,9246) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(604,9246) = ( 604 × 9246 ) / 2
LCM(604,9246) = 5584584 / 2
LCM(604,9246) = 2792292
