Lets's calculate LCM of 944,1582
2 | 944, 1582 |
472, 791 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 472 x 791 = 746704
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/746704
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3502/944,3477/1582 is 1/746704
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 944,1582 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(944,1582) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(944,1582) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(944,1582) = ( 944 × 1582 ) / 2
LCM(944,1582) = 1493408 / 2
LCM(944,1582) = 746704
