2 | 324, 7492 |
2 | 162, 3746 |
81, 1873 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 81 x 1873 = 606852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/606852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3902/324,1158/7492 is 2/606852
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 324,7492 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(324,7492) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(324,7492) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(324,7492) = ( 324 × 7492 ) / 4
LCM(324,7492) = 2427408 / 4
LCM(324,7492) = 606852
