Lets's calculate LCM of 704,3012
| 2 | 704, 3012 |
| 2 | 352, 1506 |
| 176, 753 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 176 x 753 = 530112
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/530112
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2436/704,9132/3012 is 12/530112
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 704,3012 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(704,3012) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(704,3012) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(704,3012) = ( 704 × 3012 ) / 4
LCM(704,3012) = 2120448 / 4
LCM(704,3012) = 530112
