So the greatest common factor 320,292 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,3626
2 | 18, 3626 |
9, 1813 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 9 x 1813 = 32634
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/32634
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 320/18,292/3626 is 4/32634
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 18,3626 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,3626) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,3626) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(18,3626) = ( 18 × 3626 ) / 2
LCM(18,3626) = 65268 / 2
LCM(18,3626) = 32634
