Lets's calculate LCM of 174,2364
2 | 174, 2364 |
3 | 87, 1182 |
29, 394 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 29 x 394 = 68556
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/68556
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2042/174,4220/2364 is 2/68556
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 174,2364 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(174,2364) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(174,2364) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(174,2364) = ( 174 × 2364 ) / 6
LCM(174,2364) = 411336 / 6
LCM(174,2364) = 68556
