Lets's calculate LCM of 746,846
2 | 746, 846 |
373, 423 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 373 x 423 = 315558
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/315558
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1655/746,1525/846 is 5/315558
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 746,846 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(746,846) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(746,846) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(746,846) = ( 746 × 846 ) / 2
LCM(746,846) = 631116 / 2
LCM(746,846) = 315558
