So the greatest common factor 4587,1995 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 794,362
2 | 794, 362 |
397, 181 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 397 x 181 = 143714
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/143714
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4587/794,1995/362 is 3/143714
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 794,362 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(794,362) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(794,362) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(794,362) = ( 794 × 362 ) / 2
LCM(794,362) = 287428 / 2
LCM(794,362) = 143714
