Lets's calculate LCM of 974,6178
2 | 974, 6178 |
487, 3089 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 487 x 3089 = 3008686
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/3008686
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4576/974,3920/6178 is 16/3008686
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 974,6178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(974,6178) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(974,6178) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(974,6178) = ( 974 × 6178 ) / 2
LCM(974,6178) = 6017372 / 2
LCM(974,6178) = 3008686
