So the greatest common factor 468,796 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,574
2 | 64, 574 |
32, 287 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 32 x 287 = 18368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/18368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 468/64,796/574 is 4/18368
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 64,574 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,574) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(64,574) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(64,574) = ( 64 × 574 ) / 2
LCM(64,574) = 36736 / 2
LCM(64,574) = 18368
