So the greatest common factor 3204,4974 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 264,7412
2 | 264, 7412 |
2 | 132, 3706 |
66, 1853 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 66 x 1853 = 489192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/489192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3204/264,4974/7412 is 6/489192
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 264,7412 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(264,7412) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(264,7412) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(264,7412) = ( 264 × 7412 ) / 4
LCM(264,7412) = 1956768 / 4
LCM(264,7412) = 489192
