So the greatest common factor 3636,3138 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 714,634
2 | 714, 634 |
357, 317 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 357 x 317 = 226338
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/226338
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3636/714,3138/634 is 6/226338
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 714,634 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(714,634) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(714,634) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(714,634) = ( 714 × 634 ) / 2
LCM(714,634) = 452676 / 2
LCM(714,634) = 226338
