So the greatest common factor 2696,1232 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 394,854
2 | 394, 854 |
197, 427 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 197 x 427 = 168238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/168238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2696/394,1232/854 is 8/168238
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 394,854 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(394,854) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(394,854) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(394,854) = ( 394 × 854 ) / 2
LCM(394,854) = 336476 / 2
LCM(394,854) = 168238
