Lets's calculate LCM of 314,724
2 | 314, 724 |
157, 362 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 157 x 362 = 113668
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/113668
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4312/314,8838/724 is 2/113668
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 314,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(314,724) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(314,724) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(314,724) = ( 314 × 724 ) / 2
LCM(314,724) = 227336 / 2
LCM(314,724) = 113668
