2 | 936, 3124 |
2 | 468, 1562 |
234, 781 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 234 x 781 = 731016
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/731016
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4426/936,1726/3124 is 2/731016
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 936,3124 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(936,3124) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(936,3124) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(936,3124) = ( 936 × 3124 ) / 4
LCM(936,3124) = 2924064 / 4
LCM(936,3124) = 731016
