Lets's calculate LCM of 400,936
2 | 400, 936 |
2 | 200, 468 |
2 | 100, 234 |
50, 117 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 50 x 117 = 46800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/46800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 425/400,688/936 is 1/46800
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 400,936 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(400,936) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(400,936) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(400,936) = ( 400 × 936 ) / 8
LCM(400,936) = 374400 / 8
LCM(400,936) = 46800
