Lets's calculate LCM of 608,9172
2 | 608, 9172 |
2 | 304, 4586 |
152, 2293 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 152 x 2293 = 1394144
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1394144
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2409/608,2778/9172 is 3/1394144
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 608,9172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(608,9172) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(608,9172) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(608,9172) = ( 608 × 9172 ) / 4
LCM(608,9172) = 5576576 / 4
LCM(608,9172) = 1394144
