Lets's calculate LCM of 470,6374
2 | 470, 6374 |
235, 3187 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 235 x 3187 = 1497890
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1497890
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4172/470,5352/6374 is 4/1497890
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 470,6374 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(470,6374) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(470,6374) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(470,6374) = ( 470 × 6374 ) / 2
LCM(470,6374) = 2995780 / 2
LCM(470,6374) = 1497890
