Lets's calculate LCM of 386,3484
2 | 386, 3484 |
193, 1742 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 193 x 1742 = 672412
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/672412
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1732/386,3388/3484 is 4/672412
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 386,3484 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(386,3484) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(386,3484) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(386,3484) = ( 386 × 3484 ) / 2
LCM(386,3484) = 1344824 / 2
LCM(386,3484) = 672412
