Lets's calculate LCM of 814,686
2 | 814, 686 |
407, 343 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 407 x 343 = 279202
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/279202
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4491/814,8740/686 is 1/279202
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 814,686 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(814,686) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(814,686) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(814,686) = ( 814 × 686 ) / 2
LCM(814,686) = 558404 / 2
LCM(814,686) = 279202
