Lets's calculate LCM of 396,7714
2 | 396, 7714 |
198, 3857 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 198 x 3857 = 1527372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1527372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2442/396,8816/7714 is 2/1527372
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 396,7714 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(396,7714) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(396,7714) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(396,7714) = ( 396 × 7714 ) / 2
LCM(396,7714) = 3054744 / 2
LCM(396,7714) = 1527372
