Lets's calculate LCM of 908,3756
2 | 908, 3756 |
2 | 454, 1878 |
227, 939 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 227 x 939 = 852612
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/852612
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2602/908,2526/3756 is 2/852612
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 908,3756 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(908,3756) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(908,3756) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(908,3756) = ( 908 × 3756 ) / 4
LCM(908,3756) = 3410448 / 4
LCM(908,3756) = 852612
