424, 2295 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 424 x 2295 = 1946160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1946160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3574/848,3638/4590 is 2/1946160
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 848,4590 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(848,4590) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(848,4590) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(848,4590) = ( 848 × 4590 ) / 2
LCM(848,4590) = 3892320 / 2
LCM(848,4590) = 1946160
