2 | 734, 8272 |
367, 4136 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 367 x 4136 = 3035824
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3035824
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3766/734,2859/8272 is 1/3035824
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 734,8272 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(734,8272) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(734,8272) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(734,8272) = ( 734 × 8272 ) / 2
LCM(734,8272) = 6071648 / 2
LCM(734,8272) = 3035824
