Lets's calculate LCM of 396,7654
2 | 396, 7654 |
198, 3827 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 198 x 3827 = 1515492
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1515492
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3746/396,2220/7654 is 2/1515492
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 396,7654 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(396,7654) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(396,7654) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(396,7654) = ( 396 × 7654 ) / 2
LCM(396,7654) = 3030984 / 2
LCM(396,7654) = 1515492
