467, 1686 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 467 x 1686 = 1574724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1574724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1942/934,2474/3372 is 2/1574724
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 934,3372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(934,3372) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(934,3372) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(934,3372) = ( 934 × 3372 ) / 2
LCM(934,3372) = 3149448 / 2
LCM(934,3372) = 1574724
