Lets's calculate LCM of 404,7462
2 | 404, 7462 |
202, 3731 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 202 x 3731 = 1507324
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1507324
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2174/404,6426/7462 is 2/1507324
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 404,7462 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(404,7462) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(404,7462) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(404,7462) = ( 404 × 7462 ) / 2
LCM(404,7462) = 3014648 / 2
LCM(404,7462) = 1507324
