Lets's calculate LCM of 604,714
| 2 | 604, 714 |
| 302, 357 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 302 x 357 = 215628
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/215628
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 384/604,3492/714 is 12/215628
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 604,714 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(604,714) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(604,714) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(604,714) = ( 604 × 714 ) / 2
LCM(604,714) = 431256 / 2
LCM(604,714) = 215628
