2 | 946, 8704 |
473, 4352 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 473 x 4352 = 4116992
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4116992
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4505/946,2642/8704 is 1/4116992
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 946,8704 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(946,8704) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(946,8704) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(946,8704) = ( 946 × 8704 ) / 2
LCM(946,8704) = 8233984 / 2
LCM(946,8704) = 4116992
