Lets's calculate LCM of 692,1384
2 | 692, 1384 |
2 | 346, 692 |
173 | 173, 346 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 173 x 1 x 2 = 1384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 386/692,3437/1384 is 1/1384
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 692,1384 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(692,1384) = 692
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(692,1384) x common factors =692 x 1 = 692
LCM(692,1384) = ( 692 × 1384 ) / 692
LCM(692,1384) = 957728 / 692
LCM(692,1384) = 1384
