Lets's calculate LCM of 884,332
2 | 884, 332 |
2 | 442, 166 |
221, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 221 x 83 = 73372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 35/73372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 175/884,7420/332 is 35/73372
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 884,332 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(884,332) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(884,332) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(884,332) = ( 884 × 332 ) / 4
LCM(884,332) = 293488 / 4
LCM(884,332) = 73372
