3 | 579, 9348 |
193, 3116 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 193 x 3116 = 1804164
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/1804164
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 252/579,3374/9348 is 14/1804164
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 579,9348 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(579,9348) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(579,9348) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(579,9348) = ( 579 × 9348 ) / 3
LCM(579,9348) = 5412492 / 3
LCM(579,9348) = 1804164
