Lets's calculate LCM of 738,4404
2 | 738, 4404 |
3 | 369, 2202 |
123, 734 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 123 x 734 = 541692
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/541692
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4526/738,3678/4404 is 2/541692
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 738,4404 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(738,4404) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(738,4404) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(738,4404) = ( 738 × 4404 ) / 6
LCM(738,4404) = 3250152 / 6
LCM(738,4404) = 541692
