Lets's calculate LCM of 746,9336
2 | 746, 9336 |
373, 4668 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 373 x 4668 = 3482328
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3482328
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3946/746,3380/9336 is 2/3482328
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 746,9336 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(746,9336) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(746,9336) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(746,9336) = ( 746 × 9336 ) / 2
LCM(746,9336) = 6964656 / 2
LCM(746,9336) = 3482328
