Lets's calculate LCM of 724,9924
2 | 724, 9924 |
2 | 362, 4962 |
181, 2481 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 181 x 2481 = 1796244
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1796244
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1714/724,8432/9924 is 2/1796244
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 724,9924 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(724,9924) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(724,9924) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(724,9924) = ( 724 × 9924 ) / 4
LCM(724,9924) = 7184976 / 4
LCM(724,9924) = 1796244
