Lets's calculate LCM of 924,748
2 | 924, 748 |
2 | 462, 374 |
11 | 231, 187 |
21, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 11 x 21 x 17 = 15708
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/15708
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 354/924,537/748 is 3/15708
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 924,748 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(924,748) = 44
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(924,748) x common factors =44 x 1 = 44
LCM(924,748) = ( 924 × 748 ) / 44
LCM(924,748) = 691152 / 44
LCM(924,748) = 15708
