So the greatest common factor 441,846 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 724,226
2 | 724, 226 |
362, 113 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 362 x 113 = 81812
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/81812
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 441/724,846/226 is 9/81812
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 724,226 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(724,226) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(724,226) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(724,226) = ( 724 × 226 ) / 2
LCM(724,226) = 163624 / 2
LCM(724,226) = 81812
