Lets's calculate LCM of 936,9724
2 | 936, 9724 |
2 | 468, 4862 |
13 | 234, 2431 |
18, 187 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 13 x 18 x 187 = 175032
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/175032
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 357/936,8341/9724 is 1/175032
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 936,9724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(936,9724) = 52
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(936,9724) x common factors =52 x 1 = 52
LCM(936,9724) = ( 936 × 9724 ) / 52
LCM(936,9724) = 9101664 / 52
LCM(936,9724) = 175032
