Lets's calculate LCM of 372,662
2 | 372, 662 |
186, 331 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 186 x 331 = 123132
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/123132
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3498/372,8569/662 is 11/123132
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 372,662 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,662) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(372,662) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(372,662) = ( 372 × 662 ) / 2
LCM(372,662) = 246264 / 2
LCM(372,662) = 123132
